Introduction to Electromyography and Nerve Conduction Testing

This laboratory manual is designed to help you gain a better understanding of the fundamental concepts, equipment, & techniques necessary for performing optimal electromyographic examinations & nerve conduction studies. Each chapter opens with a set of clearly outlined objectives to promote identification of learning goals, then expands to further discussion on each unit of study, & closes with a list of review questions to reinforce comprehension of the material. Tables & illustrations throughout the text help to strengthen the reader's grasp of EMG technology. The manual includes an introduction to important EMG topics, specifically, instrumentation, NCS characteristics, the electromyographic examination, spontaneous & volitional potentials, & the F wave & H reflex wave forms.Echternach, John L. is the author of 'Introduction to Electromyography and Nerve Conduction Testing' with ISBN 9781556421884 and ISBN 1556421885.
