EMG in Cubital Tunnel Syndrome
– EMG – General Discussion: – conduction velocity in the ulnar nerve across the elbow is slowed compared with the velocity in the forearm segment; – as noted by Kaempffe and Farbach (1998), abnormal EMG results are associated w/ poor surgical outcome; – position of elbow during EMG/NCS: … Read more
EMG in Demyelinating Neuropathies
– See: EMG Menu: – Discussion: – demyelinating neuropathies are characterized by slowing of conduction velocities and latencies, including those of late responses such as F waves; – this occurs well before clinical symptoms appear. – slowing of the conduction velocity is often … Read more
EMG of Myopathic Disorders
– Discussion: – as general rule, an EMG of patient who has myopathic disease shows a decreased amplitude & duration of response, compared w/ that of unaffected pt, while an EMG of pt who has neuropathic disorder shows an increased amplitude and duration of response; … Read more
