Manual of Nerve Conduction Studies, Second Edition

By: Ralph Buschbacher, MD,Nathan D. Prahlow, MD

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.

Buschbacher's Manual of Nerve Conduction Studies

By: Dinesh Kumbhare, MD, MSc,Lawrence Robinson, MD,Ralph Buschbacher, MD

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

Aminoff's Diagnosis of Neuromuscular Disorders - E-book

By: Michael J. Aminoff,Jeffrey W. Ralph,Francis Walker

Succinct yet comprehensive, Aminoff's Diagnosis of Neuromuscular Disorders, 4th Edition, provides expert information and guidance on the clinical, electrodiagnostic, and imaging aspects of neuromuscular disorders. Fully updated, it reflects important advances in the field, including an improved understanding of the molecular and genetic basis of neuromuscular disease, an expanded use of next-generation genetic testing, refinements in electrodiagnosis, and the use of ultrasound imaging techniques to evaluate the peripheral nervous system. In-depth discussions of disease states, as well as the evidence supporting the use of electrodiagnostic and imaging techniques, moves this reference from simply answering the question "How?" to also answering "Why?" - Describes the range of clinical manifestations of individual neuromuscular diseases; the power and limitations of electrodiagnostic techniques as they relate to neuromuscular disorders; the place of genetic studies in the diagnosis and prognostication of these diseases; and the scope and utility of newer imaging procedures in detecting and localizing the underlying pathologic process. - Reviews neuromuscular physiology and the pathology of major diseases. - Provides a readable, well-illustrated synthesis of clinical and investigative techniques in diagnosing neuromuscular diseases, with concise guidance on how to conduct clinical, electrodiagnostic, and ultrasound evaluations and the findings in various disease states. - Covers a wide variety of electrodiagnostic and ultrasound procedures, including techniques for evaluating different individual nerves. - Features video clips of waveforms and of ultrasound images to illustrate key concepts. - An ideal resource for neuromuscular specialists, clinical neurologists, physiatrists, rehabilitation specialists, clinical neurophysiologists, and electromyographers, as well as trainees and those preparing for board certification in neurology, PM&R, neuromuscular medicine, clinical neurophysiology, and electrodiagnostic medicine. - Any additional digital ancillary content may publish up to 6 weeks following the publication date.
