Pdf Summary

Neuromuscular ultrasound is an effective tool for diagnosing and managing neuromuscular disorders. It provides real-time imaging of nerves and muscles, allowing for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. Ultrasound can be used to diagnose neuropathies, traumatic nerve injuries, and inherited myopathies, as well as detect fasciculations and motor neuron disease. It is a noninvasive and practical tool that provides valuable information about the structure and function of nerves and muscles. Ultrasound is sensitive to probe pressure and can guide needle placement during EMG procedures. It is also useful in evaluating muscle size, quality, and pathology.
