Electrodiagnostic reference values for upper and lower limb nerve conduction studies in adult populations.
INTRODUCTION To address the need for greater standardization within the field of electrodiagnostic medicine, the Normative Data Task Force (NDTF) was formed to identify nerve conduction studies (NCS) in the literature, evaluate them using consensus-based methodological criteria derived by the NDTF, and identify those suitable as a resource for NCS metrics. METHODS A comprehensive literature s...
متن کاملClinical Management of Upper Limb Spasticity
Case Report A 67-year-old right-handed male who had suffered an ischemic left basal ganglia stroke with right hemiparesis was evaluated for post-stroke rehabilitation therapies. He had undergone comprehensive inpatient rehabilitation six months earlier. When he was discharged home, he required supervision for upper and lower body dressing but was at a “modified independent” level for ambulation...
متن کاملUpper limb nerve blocks
Brachial plexus blockade has enjoyed great popularity since it was first reported in 1884. As the ventral primary rami of cervical nerves 5–8 and a part of the first thoracic nerve emerge from the intervertebral foramina, they are invested in a fascial sheath that runs to a point distal to the axilla. Effective regional anaesthesia can be achieved with single or multiple injections at a variety...
متن کاملPeripheral nerve involvement in sarcoidosis: an electrodiagnostic study.
The frequency of peripheral nerve involvement in sarcoidosis is uncertain. To determine how often peripheral nerves are affected in the absence of symptoms, electromyography was performed on 29 sarcoid patients and 29 age-matched controls. Nineteen sarcoid patients, compared to two controls, had abnormally low sensory amplitudes in one or more nerves, and the mean sensory amplitudes for median,...
متن کاملEffects of repeated abobotulinumtoxinA injections in upper limb spasticity
INTRODUCTION The efficacy of single injections of abobotulinumtoxinA (Dysport) is established in adults with upper limb spasticity. In this study we assessed the effects of repeated injections of abobotulinumtoxinA over 1 year. METHODS Patients (n = 258, safety population) received 500 U, 1,000 U, or 1,500 U (1,500-U dose included 500-U shoulder injections) for up to 4 or 5 treatment cycles. ...
