Electrodiagnostic evaluation of myopathies.
Electrodiagnostic studies play an important role in the evaluation of patients suspected of having a myopathic disorder. They are used to exclude alternative diagnoses, confirm the presence of muscle disease, narrow down the differential, and identify an appropriate biopsy site. The most informative part of the electrodiagnostic study is needle electromyography. This allows for the analysis of ...
متن کاملThe electrodiagnostic sensitivity of proximal lower extremity muscles in the diagnosis of L5 radiculopathy.
The aim of this study was to assess the electrodiagnostic (EDx) sensitivity of proximal lower extremity muscles, including tensor fascia lata (TFL) and gluteus medius (GMED), in the diagnosis of L5 radiculopathy.Eleven EDx recordings with L5 radiculopathy were collected. The motor unit action potentials were assessed for morphology, stability, and firing characteristics. A descriptive analysis ...
متن کاملDoes Electrodiagnostic Confirmation of Radiculopathy Predict Pain Reduction after Transforaminal Epidural Steroid Injection? A Multicenter Study.
OBJECTIVE Minimal definitive literature identifies patients with radicular pain who would benefit most from epidural steroid injection (ESI). This study investigated if electromyographic (EMG) confirmation of radiculopathy with active or chronic denervation predicts a positive treatment outcome following ESI. DESIGN Longitudinal cohort study of adults who underwent EMG and subsequent transfor...
متن کاملUtility of electrodiagnostic testing in evaluating patients with lumbosacral radiculopathy: An evidence-based review.
This is an evidence-based review of electrodiagnostic (EDX) testing of patients with suspected lumbosacral radiculopathy to determine its utility in diagnosis and prognosis. Literature searches were performed to identify articles applying EDX techniques to patients with suspected lumbosacral radiculopathy. From the 355 articles initially discovered, 119 articles describing nerve conduction stud...
متن کاملElectrodiagnostic evaluation of carpal tunnel syndrome.
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is the most common nerve entrapment. Electrodiagnostic (EDX) studies are a valid and reliable means of confirming the diagnosis. This monograph addresses the various EDX techniques used to evaluate the median nerve at the wrist. It also demonstrates the limitations of EDX studies with a focus on the sensitivity and specificity of EDX testing for CTS. The need to use...
