CoursebookThe Principles of NCS and Needle EMG

Pdf Summary

This document provides an overview of a course on Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS) and Needle Electromyography (EMG). It explains the objectives of the course, introduces the faculty members, and discusses the principles and techniques used in NCS and Needle EMG. The document also focuses on the needle electrode examination (NEE), its purpose, different types of activity evaluated during the NEE, and the factors that can influence the NEE results. It explains how the NEE findings can vary depending on the location of peripheral nerve injury and the specific neuromuscular disorders associated with abnormal NEE measurements. Overall, the NEE is a valuable tool in assessing the integrity of the peripheral nervous system and identifying specific neuromuscular disorders.
