Electrodiagnosis of Infantile Botulism

Journal of Child Neurology, 2000
Analysis of the literature on the electrophysiologic features of infantile botulism was undertaken. Small compound muscle action potential amplitude is a very sensitive feature but lacks specificity. The decremental response to 2- to 3-Hz repetitive nerve stimulation is inconsistent and not a reliable sign.

Electrodiagnosis of Plexopathy

PM&R, 2013
AbstractElectrodiagnostic evaluation of the brachial and lumbosacral plexus can be challenging even to an experienced practitioner. Detailed attention to anatomy and correlation with the history and physical examination results are needed to have a comprehensive differential diagnosis and to develop reliable conclusions.

Electrodiagnosis of Myotonic Disorders

Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinics of North America, 2013
Clinical and electrical myotonia is caused by a small group of neuromuscular disorders. This article reviews myotonia and its differential diagnosis. The use of electrodiagnostic testing to evaluate the primary myotonic disorders (myotonic dystrophy and the nondystrophic myotonias) is also discussed.

Electrodiagnosis of Plexopathies

Neurologic Clinics, 1985
The pathophysiologic processes underlying plexus lesions and their recognition by electromyographic examination are detailed in this article. The nerve conduction studies most helpful for localization of plexopathies are discussed, and the electromyographic findings of the most commonly encountered plexopathies are described.

Electrodiagnosis in Neuromuscular Disease

Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinics of North America, 2012
Electromyography (EMG) is an important diagnostic tool for the assessment of individuals with various neuromuscular diseases. It should be an extension of a thorough history and physical examination. Some prototypical characteristics and findings of EMG and nerve conduction studies are discussed; however, a more thorough discussion can be found in the ...

Electrodiagnosis in Facial Palsy

Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1972
Nerve excitability test, intensity-duration curve, and measurements of action potentials evoked by facial nerve stimulation (evoked electromyography) were made on 146 patients, ie, 117 with Bell's palsy, 14 with Ramsay Hunt's syndrome, and 15 with traumatic palsy. Surgical decompressions were performed on 34 patients.

Electrodiagnosis and Recovery of Function

American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, 1988
The study of electrodiagnosis with respect to recovery of function is in its infancy. There is a need for better understanding of the mechanisms of recovery and for better techniques to monitor recovery. This paper reviews the potential uses and limitations of current electrodiagnostic tests to predict and monitor neuromuscular recovery. It illustrates

Electrodiagnosis in Neuromuscular Disorders

Annals of Internal Medicine, 1981
Nerve conduction and stimulation studies and needle electromyography are useful in objectively verifying the presence of disease of nerve and muscle. How pathologic alterations in muscle and nerve produce the electrical abnormalities detected by these combined techniques is explored to guide the clinician in distinguishing whether a neuromuscular ...

Electrodiagnosis of neck pain

Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Clinics of North America, 2003
The past 3 decades have witnessed tremendous advances in the field of electrodiagnostic medicine. The high-performance electronics and microprocessors available in contemporary electrodiagnostic instruments have improved the ability to detect, record, measure, and interpret the action potentials arising from the nerves and muscle fibers.
