Electrodiagnostic Medicine

This comprehensive textbook provides detailed discussions of the principles and practice of the electrodiagnostic evaluation. It includes an introduction to the fundamentals of neurophysiology and nerve conduction, as well as the basic techniques of electromyography. This should provide readers with a thorough understanding of the underpinnings of EMG. Two-thirds of the book is devoted to the clinical application of EMG in specific nerve disorders and clinical situations. It is written in simple language without unnecessary technical detail, making it suitable for students and professionals alike. The book is divided into three parts. Part 1, focusing on the fundamentals, describes the basics of nerve physiology, instruments, SSEPs and more. The second part, focusing on clinical application, takes specific nervous or medical disorders and explains the practical application of electrodiagnostic medicine in these situations. The final part, exploring special topics, discusses special situations such as the paediatric exam, interoperative spinal cord monitoring and report generation.
