Y1 - 2016 N1 - T2 - Modalities for Therapeutic Intervention, 6e AB - Clinical electroneuromyography includes observing, analyzing, and interpreting the bioelectrical activity of muscles and nerves as they respond to electrical stimulation, needle provocation, and voluntary activation. Most often, the testing consists of a combination of nerve conduction studies (NCS) and electromyography (EMG), although additional tests may occasionally be appropriate. These may include somatosensory-evoked potentials, brain stem auditory-evoked potentials, visual-evoked potentials, intraoperative monitoring, and repetitive stimulation. Of these additional electrophysiological tests, somatosensory-evoked potentials and repetitive stimulation are more commonly accomplished on a routine basis. However, this overview focuses on clinical NCS and EMG studies. SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/12/14 UR - fadavisat.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1180668533 ER -
