EMG Lesion Localization and Characterization: A Case Studies
Approach takes a unique approach to electrodiagnostic (EDX)
medicine, using case studies and exercises to teach clinical
reasoning and build technical skills. The first section presents
basic principles, reviewing pertinent nerve and muscle anatomy,
physiology, and pathophysiology along with study techniques,
measurements, and pitfalls. The second section emphasizes how to
most effectively utilize the book's featured case studies, followed
by 60 cases covering the range of disorders encountered in the EMG
lab and organized by regional and multiregional disorders of the
upper and lower extremities, brachial plexopathies, generalized
disorders, and challenging cases. Through the EDX case studies,
lesion localization and characterization are demonstrated and
discussed step-by-step using a floating text box that tracks the
findings for each case. Each case begins with the clinical
features, which dictate the initial EDX studies performed. The
results of those studies drive the next round of testing, which
continues until the abnormality has been localized and
characterized and a diagnosis is made. In this manner the dynamic
nature of electrodiagnostic testing and process of sequential study
analysis is reinforced in the cases, just as it would be in the EMG
laboratory. Authored by two leading experts in neurology and
electrodiagnostic medicine, all aspects of lesion localization and
characterization are extensively covered, including calculations of
lesion severity for demyelinating conduction block and axon loss
lesions and calculations of various types of motor unit action
potential recruitment frequencies. The book features a large number
of anatomical drawings, charts, and EDX images in order to
illustrate the skills of lesion localization and characterization
comprehensively. By conveying the "cognitive approach" to EDX
medicine, EMG Lesion Localization and Characterization merges
clinical knowledge with real-life cases to better instruct
residents, fellows, technicians, and neuromuscular providers in the
field of electrodiagnostic medicine. Key Features: Includes 60
cases covering all major neuromuscular disorders Presents basic and
advanced anatomic, physiologic, pathophysiologic, and temporal
principles and concepts pertinent to EDX medicine EDX studies are
evaluated as they are collected, providing insight into the
principles underlying electrodiagnostic medicine Through sequential
step-by-step analysis of findings, the decision-making process
required in the EMG laboratory is simulated Purchase includes
