Medical Student: Nerve Conduction Study Basics-Dr. Salajegheh Presentation

Dr. Salajegheh Presentation

Pdf Summary

This document provides an overview of the basics of Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS) and Needle Electromyography (EMG) in the assessment of neuromuscular disorders. The document outlines the agenda for a session on the topic, including the different parts and presenters. It also includes information on the financial disclosure of the presenter. The document explains that EDX studies are used to assess neuromuscular disorders and discusses the various techniques used, such as NCS, late responses, repetitive nerve stimulation, and needle EMG. It provides details on the technical aspects of recording, grounding, machine settings, and stimulation. The document emphasizes the importance of knowledge of peripheral nervous system anatomy and nerve and muscle physiology in optimal localization and planning of studies. It discusses the various presentations of neuromuscular disorders, such as sensorimotor, sensory, and motor, and provides information on clinical localization, NCS/EMG findings, and EMG changes in these disorders. The document also includes information on plexopathies, ganglionopathy, motor neuron disease, neuropathy, neuromuscular junction disorders, and myopathy, including clinical features and NCS/EMG findings. Finally, the document concludes with a request for feedback and information on recording credits associated with session attendance.
