The Electrodiagnosis of Cervical and Lumbosacral Radiculopathy
Neurologic Clinics, 2007This article reviews the usefulness of the electrodiagnostic examination in patients who have suspected cervical and lumbosacral radiculopathy. This study can verify the presence and severity of radiculopathy, determine which levels are involved, and provide an electrodiagnostic correlate to imaging abnormalities.

Extraspinal causes of lumbosacral radiculopathy.
The Journal of Bone & Joint Surgery, 1991Twelve of 12,125 patients who had been referred during a seven-year period to a specialist in spinal disorders were found to have an extraspinal cause of radiculopathy or neuropathy of the lower extremity. The records of these twelve patients were reviewed retrospectively. The average age of the twelve patients was sixty-five years (range, forty-two to

Comparison of motor conduction abnormalities in lumbosacral radiculopathy and axonal polyneuropathy
Muscle and Nerve, 1999 We compared the frequencies and types of motor conduction abnormalities found in peroneal and tibial nerves of patients with either L5/S1 radiculopathies (n = 47) or axonal polyneuropathies (n = 49).

Routine electrodiagnosis and a multiparameter technique in lumbosacral radiculopathies
Acta Neurologica Scandinavica, 2008This study compares Routine nerve conductions studies (NCS)/needle electromyography (nEMG) with a multiparameter recording method (NC-stat; NeuroMetrix Inc., Waltham, MA, USA) in patients with lumbosacral radiculopathies (LSR).Charts from 34 consecutive patients with a clinical history and/or examination consistent with an LSR were retrospectively ...

A Quantitative Evaluation of Sensory Dysfunction in Lumbosacral Radiculopathy
Spine, 1991A quantitative evaluation of sensory disturbance of the foot was attempted in 94 cases of lumbosacral radiculopathy using the biothesiometer, the Semmes-Weinstein esthesiometer, light touch, tuning fork, and dermatomal somatosensory evoked potentials.

Somatosensory evoked potentials in the evaluation of lumbosacral radiculopathy
Neurology, 1992We performed lower extremity somatosensory evoked potential (SEP) studies in 59 patients with signs or symptoms suggestive of lumbosacral radiculopathy and compared them with results of myelography with post-myelogram CT (myelogram/CT), MRI, and other electrodiagnostic studies.

Spinal Nerve Stimulation in the Diagnosis of Lumbosacral Radiculopathy
American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, 1990Direct spinal nerve stimulation was compared with needle electromyography (EMG) in 40 patients who were suspected of having an L5 or S1 radiculopathy. For spinal nerve stimulation, we adapted a monopolar needle electrode inserted deep into the paraspinal muscle. The minimal latency, amplitude, and negative phase area of compound muscle action potential

Focal atrophy of the multifidus muscle in lumbosacral radiculopathy
Muscle & Nerve, 1998A patient with compelling clinical and electrodiagnostic evidence of a right L5 radiculopathy had focal atrophy of the multifidus at the appropriate level, which served to confirm the radicular nature of the process. The multifidus muscles are innervated by a single root, in contrast to the polysegmental innervation of the rest of the paraspinal muscle

Lumbosacral radiculopathy following radiofrequency ablation therapy
Muscle & Nerve, 2003AbstractRadiofrequency ablation (RFA) is a treatment modality for several types of malignancies and vascular malformations. Only limited information is available on neurologic complications following RFA. We report three cases of acute lumbosacral radiculopathy after abdominal RFA, in two of which electrophysiologic studies were performed.

Symptom Duration and Spontaneous Activity in Lumbosacral Radiculopathy
American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation, 2000A long-held notion in the electrodiagnostic literature is that paraspinal muscles tend to show spontaneous activity (fibrillations and positive sharp waves) on needle electromyography, early on in a lumbosacral radiculopathy, and that more distal muscles become abnormal later in the disease process.
