electrodiagnosis
Electrodiagnosis refers to a collection of diagnostic techniques that assess the electrical properties of the nervous system to help identify and characterize disorders of the peripheral nervous system, neuromuscular junction, and muscles. It is typically used in conjunction with history, physical examination, and other tests to determine the location and nature of a problem, guide management, and monitor disease progression or response to treatment.
The core tools are nerve conduction studies (NCS) and electromyography (EMG). NCS measure the speed and size
Additional techniques include evoked potentials, such as somatosensory and visual evoked potentials, which evaluate central sensory
Limitations include dependence on patient cooperation and technique, contraindications for invasive procedures, and the fact that
