Description

Ultrasound and Electrodiagnosis (EMG) of the Ulnar Nerve 

Ultrasound and Electrodiagnosis (EMG) of the Ulnar Nerve training video is designed to provide a comprehensive approach to the use of ultrasound for the assessment of the ulnar nerve and ulnar neuropathy at the elbow and other locations. The presentation is structured to review the nerve anatomy, clinical assessment, the relative value, and technical approach of routine electrophysiologic techniques, scanning techniques, and image optimization with ultrasound. In addition, the clinical basis for utilizing ultrasound for assessment of both normal / abnormal sonographic characteristics of the nerves, muscles, and other related anatomy is included.

Topics include:

  • Anatomy of the Ulnar Nerve
  • Ultrasound Evaluation of the Normal Ulnar Nerve
  • Diagnostic Criteria for Evaluation of Ulnar Nerve Abnormalities

 

Objectives: After viewing the activity, the participant should be able to:

  • State clinical indications for ultrasound of the ulnar nerve.
  • List routine electrodiagnostic techniques for assessment of suspected ulnar neuropathy.
  • Recognize sonographic appearance of the ulnar nerve anatomy.
  • List ultrasound examination protocols and scan techniques for evaluation of the ulnar nerve including post-surgical assessment.
  • Identify commonly seen ulnar nerve pathology recognized with ultrasound and apply diagnostic criteria for accurate diagnosis.
