  2. Nerve conduction study - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_conduction_study

    Nerve conduction studies are used mainly for evaluation of paresthesias ( numbness, tingling, burning) and/or weakness of the arms and legs. The type of study required is dependent in part by the symptoms presented. A physical exam and thorough history also help to direct the investigation.

  3. Nerve conduction velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_conduction_velocity

    In neuroscience, nerve conduction velocity ( CV) is the speed at which an electrochemical impulse propagates down a neural pathway. Conduction velocities are affected by a wide array of factors, which include age, sex, and various medical conditions.

  4. Electrophysiological techniques for clinical diagnosis

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrophysiological...

    A few common uses are determining whether a muscle is active or inactive during movement (onset of activity), assessing the velocity of nerve conduction, and the amount of force generated during movement. EMGs are the basis for nerve conduction studies which measure the electrical conduction velocity and other characteristics of nerves in the body.

  5. Repetitive nerve stimulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repetitive_nerve_stimulation

    Repetitive nerve stimulation is a variant of the nerve conduction study where electrical stimulation is delivered to a motor nerve repeatedly several times per second.

  6. Acute motor axonal neuropathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acute_motor_axonal_neuropathy

    The syndrome typically presents as a progressive flaccid symmetric paralysis with areflexia, often causing respiratory failure. Electromyographic studies and nerve conduction studies show normal motor conduction velocity and latency with decreased amplitude of compound muscle action potentials.

  7. Clinical neurophysiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinical_neurophysiology

    In hospitals that possess clinical neurophysiology facilities, the major diagnostic modalities employed include: Electromyography and nerve conduction studies: These diagnostic tests of the peripheral nervous system are especially useful in evaluating diseases of the muscles, nerves, and nerve roots. The basis of these tests is recording ...

  8. Sensory neuronopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sensory_neuronopathy

    Nerve conduction studies will show absent or reduced sensory nerve conduction action potentials in the upper and lower limbs with preserved conduction velocity. [4] Motor nerve action potentials and conduction are usually unaffected, but in a subset of cases may have limited dysfunction. [2]

  9. Electromyoneurography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromyoneurography

    This procedure now analyzes the nerve conduction and muscle potentials through the use of H-Reflex and F-Wave studies. Combined with a pre-examination, electromyoneurography is utilized to detect neuromuscular abnormalities.

  10. Electroneuronography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroneuronography

    The technique of electroneuronography was first used by Esslen and Fisch in 1979 to describe a technique that examines the integrity and conductivity of peripheral nerves. In modern use, ENoG is used to describe study of the facial nerve, while the term nerve conduction study is employed for other nerves.

  11. Neuromuscular disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuromuscular_disease

    Neuromuscular disease can also be diagnosed by various blood tests and using electrodiagnostic medicine tests [23] including electromyography [24] (measuring electrical activity in muscles) and nerve conduction studies. [25] Genetic testing is an important part of diagnosing inherited neuromuscular conditions.
