The gold standard in many EMG labs, this resource is a practical working reference for performing a wide variety of common nerve conduction studies. It provides both practicing clinicians and trainees with an impressive database of normal values they can use to interpret nerve conduction results with confidence. The third edition is revised to deliver an up-to-date set of normal values that take into account age, sex, height, and body mass index for a wide range of demographic groups. Two new authors bring a novel clinical perspective to the manual along with valuable tips and pearls to help the busy electromyographer conduct more effective studies and make a more informed diagnosis. The third edition includes updated nomenclature and methodology for conducting nerve conduction tests along with supportive evidence to bolster all recommendations. New illustrations and diagrams supplement precise descriptions of electrode placements and study techniques. Additionally, the authors codify the acceptable differences in latency, amplitude, and nerve conduction velocity between nerves of the same or opposite limbs, to foster a more precise diagnosis. Recently updated references and suggested readings for each study provide the opportunity for more in-depth learning. For determining normal reference values for any patient, or for review of a specific nerve conduction technique, this third edition of Buschbacher’s Manual of Nerve Conduction Studies is essential for physicians and technologists alike. Key Features: New references, technique descriptions, and drawings bring the classic manual up to date Provides clinical pearls and tips for performing each study A new Appendix covers common anomalous innervations such as the Martin Gruber Anastomosis. Offers a current, comprehensive set of reference values for clinical use Discusses advantages and pitfalls of alternative techniques Includes schematics to illustrate optimal electrode placement and typical waveform appearance
Now, for the first time, practitioners have access to a huge database of normal values, developed using the most modern scientific protocols, for virtually any patient population! Normal ranges take into account age, sex, height and body mass index for a wide range of demographic groups to provide a complete set of reliable values for everyday clinical practice. For each nerve fiber, the author provides the nerve root level, the peripheral nerve level, and the plexus pathway. In addition, for the most common studies performed, normal ranges are provided for onset latency, amplitude, area, duration of the wave, and nerve conduction velocity across various segments. Other benefits of this outstanding book: Provides helpful hints for performing each study Covers the latest, most up-to-date techniques for conducting nerve sensory tests Codifies the acceptable differences in latency, amplitude, nerve conduction velocity, etc. between nerves of the same or opposite limbs, allowing for a more precise diagnosis Provides precise written descriptions as well as schematic depiction of electrode placements Includes typical waveform appearance for the most common studies Offers a concise list of references and suggested readings for each study Includes advantages and pitfalls of alternative techniques For determining normal reference values for any patient, or for review of a specific nerve conduction technique, this book is unrivaled.
Treating an elite athlete or a weekend player has its challenges - mainly to get them back in the game right away. This issue covers injuries and treatments for an assortment of sports: golf, running, triathalon, basketball and more. Don't miss two exciting chapters on sports psychology and performance enhancing drugs or the chapter on altitude medicine and martial arts!
Geared to physiatrists and sports medicine physicians, this book is a practical guide to the rehabilitation of sport injuries. It focuses on specific sports and describes a variety of popular sports in sufficient depth so that physicians can confidently diagnose and treat patients injured during each sport. The authors focus on conservative management of injuries, so that physicians can maximize nonsurgical options before resorting to surgery. The book explains the mechanism of each injury and offers strategies for evaluating patients and preparing them to return to play. Numerous illustrations complement the text.
