We describe the clinical and electrodiagnostic features of 8 infants who showed no visual responsiveness and were thought to be severely visually impaired on initial examination. Subsequently all children developed normal visual capabilities and the previously abnormal visually evoked potentials became normal. The clinical and electrodiagnostic features of these infants suggest that they suffer...

Lambert Eaton myasthenic syndrome is a presynaptic neuromuscular junction disorder, which has unique features on electrodiagnostic testing. Here we describe a middle aged lady with symmetric, progressive, areflexic weakness in lower limbs, who had the typical electrodiagnostic findings of diffuse attenuation of motor amplitudes, and increase in these amplitudes after brief exercise of the muscl...

OBJECTIVE To determine the prevalence and related characteristics of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) in orchardists and to investigate the association between electrodiagnostic severity and physical examinations. METHODS Between July 2013 and September 2014, 377 subjects (174 men and 203 women) visited the Gyeongsang National University Hospital's Center for Farmer's Safety and Health. All the s...

BACKGROUND Lumbar disc herniation is a problem frequently encountered in manual medicine. While manual therapy has shown reasonable success in symptomatic management of these cases, little information is known how manual therapy may affect the structure and function of the lumbar disc itself. In cases where lumbar disc herniation is accompanied by radicular symptoms, electrodiagnostic testing h...

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...

The inflammatory demyelinating neuropathies constitute a significant proportion of the acquired polyneuropathies. Major progress in finding the causes and in the treatment of these neuropathies has been made over the last decade. Early recognition is of paramount importance, because timely and appropriate treatment can largely reduce morbidity and disability. Electrodiagnosis plays a key role i...

Median–ulnar anastomosis [Martin–Gruber anastomosis (MGA)] is a common anatomic variant. The crossover often occurs in mid-forearm. Median fibers that have crossed then run with distal ulnar nerve to innervate any of following ulnar muscle: (i) Abductor digiti minimi (ADM), (ii) first dorsal interosseous (FDI), (iii) adductor pollicis, (iv) deep head of flexor pollicis brevis, or (v) combinatio...
