Functional Electromyography: Provocative Maneuvers in
Electrodiagnosis integrates electrophysiology further into the
physical examination than ever before. It introduces the use of
electrodiagnostic studies to quantify the neurological changes
brought about by three provocative maneuvers commonly used in
contemporary medicine. This widens the scope of electromyography
while sharpening physicians' diagnostic acuity. The book presents
nerve conduction velocity (NCV) and H-reflex techniques to identify
common conditions that are difficult to diagnose by any other
means, often using the needle exam (EMG), MRI or musculoskeletal
ultrasound to verify their clinical utility. Functional
electromyography successfully diagnoses some cases of thoracic
outlet syndrome, nearly all cases of piriformis syndrome, and
offers a method for determining whether spinal stenosis or
radiculopathy is the main pain generator when both are present in a
single patient, even at the same level. This is particularly
valuable because the standard conservative and surgical treatments
for these two conditions are opposite, in spite of the identical
symptom-set they produce. The book carefully describes each
technique and persuasively documents their validity in statistical
series and individual case presentations. It further guides the
attentive electromyographer to adapt these methods to cases beyond
those presented in its pages, suggesting a safe and scientific
approach to other functional maneuvers of value to the
electromyographer, and methods for validating one-time measures
that may aid the electromyographer in clinical situations that are
neither common nor easily analyzed. Hand drawn illustrations are
included alongside text developed by experts in the field. An
invaluable resource for physiatrists, neurologists, orthopedic
surgeons, specialists in pain management and other providers,
Functional Electromyography: Provocative Maneuvers in
Electrodiagnosis represents a major contribution to the field of
electrodiagnosis.
