Medical Student: EMG Basics-Dr. Salajegheh Presentation

Dr. Salajegheh Presentation

Pdf Summary

This document is a summary of a presentation on the basics of NCS (nerve conduction study) and Needle EMG (electromyography) given by Mohammad Kian Salajegheh, MD, at a medical conference. The document includes information on the financial disclosures of the speaker as well as an outline of the session. <br /><br />The presentation begins by discussing the various electrodiagnostic (EDX) tools used for assessing neuromuscular disorders, including nerve conduction studies, late responses, repetitive nerve stimulation, needle electromyography, and specialized examinations. It also provides information on the different types of recording electrodes used, as well as technical aspects such as grounding, machine settings, and stimulation methods. <br /><br />The next section focuses on the anatomy and physiology of the peripheral nervous system, emphasizing the importance of understanding these concepts for accurate localization of nerve lesions. It explains compound action potentials and their role in conduction velocity measurements, as well as the different EDX changes seen in nerve and muscle disorders. <br /><br />The presentation then covers the approach to EDX and clinical localization in the peripheral nervous system, discussing the assessment of sensory and motor pathways, as well as specific presentations of neuromuscular disorders such as radiculopathies, mononeuropathies, multiple mononeuropathies, generalized polyneuropathies, plexopathies, ganglionopathies, motor neuron diseases, neuromuscular junction disorders, and myopathies. For each presentation, the speaker explains the clinical features and provides guidance on appropriate NCS and EMG studies.<br /><br />The document concludes with reminders for attendees to provide feedback on the presentation and to record their attendance and credits through the AANEM app.
