What
do I need to learn EMG and Nerve Conductions
Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS)
Didactic CDs/Videos
Performance of Nerve Conduction
Studies requires a familiarity with:
- The EMG machine function, such as stimulating, recording, printing, filter
settings and report generation etc.. (these are usually performed by the
equipment sales person upon installation or servicing of the equipment)
- The upper and lower extremity Nerves
& Muscles anatomy, Nerve Conduction and Stimulation setups (where do you put
the electrodes to stimulate and record), and the expected results, shape of
waveforms, how they change in disease, and the normal values for different
nerves and different studies to be done in different conditions. A good place
to start is the EMG Manual.
- You can find a fully integrated course on sensory and motor nerve conduction
studies, bundled
with an EMG Manual in the
Nerve Conduction Studies Course
Needle Examination Didactic CDs/Videos
Performance of the Needle Examination
requires a familiarity with:
- The EMG machine function, such as Needle Exam recording settings, including filters,
sweep speeds, raster and report generation etc.. (these are also performed by the
equipment sales person upon installation or servicing of the equipment)
- The upper and lower extremity Nerves anatomy to learn how to
develop a work-up for patients with Cervical and Lumbo-Sacral root lesions, and
other compression vs entrapment neuropathies. The expected results, shape of
waveforms, how they change in disease, such as fibrillations, positive waves,
polyphasic units, fasciculations etc.. and the different studies to be done in
different conditions. An EMG Manual will be very helpful as a start.
- Finally, you will find real
EMG patient case
studies and a Diagnostic Assistant to be of real value when preparing to develop
work-ups for patients referred to your EMG Lab.
- A fully integrated course on the EMG Needle Examination, bundled with Nerve
and Muscle Anatomy, an EMG Manual, Waveform identification, EMG patient case studies
and the Diagnostic Assistant can be found in the
Needle Examination
Studies Course
Needle
EMG & Nerve Conductions and Needle Exam CDs/Videos
-
If
you want to perform a complete examination, which includes both Nerve
Conductions and a Needle Examination, you need an integrated Nerve
Conduction, Needle Exam, Case Studies and Diagnostic Assistant course, which
could be found in the
Integrated EMG and Nerve
Conduction Studies Course
