In clinical electromyography (EMG), training in localizing muscles for needle electrode insertion has been primarily accomplished by referring to anatomy atlases and by observing experienced examiners.

Perform EMG needle examination in thigh muscles innervated by the femoral nerve or its branches. In lesions associated with loss of motor fibers, EMG may show neurogenic changes (i.e., fibrillation potentials, polyphasic motor unit potentials, and neurogenic recruitment).

2013年3月12日 · Beautifully and lavishly illustrated, Atlas of Nerve Conduction Studies and Electromyography demystifies the major conditions affecting peripheral nerves and provides electrodiagnostic strategies for confirming suspected lesions of the peripheral nervous system.

Use electrodiagnostic evaluation to confirm a focal lesion (conduction block, slowing of conduction velocity) at the spiral groove and to obtain information on severity and prognosis.

2012年11月1日 · It contains detailed illustrations of each nerve along with a discussion of its anatomy, followed by a thorough outline of the clinical conditions and entrapment syndromes that affect the nerve, including a list of the etiologies, clinical features, and electrodiagnostic strategies used for each syndrome.

The Online Atlas of Electromyography is a useful source of knowledge for the advanced training of medical students, neurologists and specialists in the field of neurophysiology and electromyography.

2000年2月15日 · The Atlas of Electromyography is a visually alluring book which provides high quality anatomical illustrations of skeletal muscles that include nerve, plexus, and root supply; photographs of each muscle in healthy subjects to enable the practitioner to identify the optimum site of EMG needle insertion; clinical features of the major conditions ...

Dr Barkhaus methodically explains muscle identification using the anatomic landmarks and palpation. Upon identifying the site of needle insertion, live EMG signals are seen as the subject activates and relaxes the muscle. This collection of 75+ videos covers the routinely tested muscles from upper limb, lower limb, neck, face and back (paraspinal).
