Electrodiagnosis and Clinical Neurophysiology
CME Group, June 2009
Program Information:
The RIC Academy CE activities help you keep abreast of changes in your field. The curriculum is grounded in evidence-based practice when appropriate as well as based on the collective clinical experience of our staff. RIC Academy programs are taught by interdisciplinary teams of recognized specialists from RIC and visiting experts from across the country and around the world.
Some highlights of the program include:
- Evaluation of Needle EMG waveforms
- Pitfalls of Nerve Conduction Studies
- Newer Techniques in the Evaluation of Ulnar and Median Neuropathies
- Neuromuscular Junction Testing: Repetitive Nerve Stimulation and Single Fiber EMG
- Autonomic Testing
Description
An exciting nationally and internationally known faculty of leaders in the field of electromyography presents this comprehensive review program. This activity covers: (1) recognition of normal and abnormal electromyographic waveforms; (2) basic anatomy, including surface landmarks and electrode placement; (3) the physiologic basis for nerve conduction, neuromuscular transmission, single muscle fiber and motor unit activity; (4) instrumentation and technical considerations in electrodiagnostic testing; (5) clinicopathologic correlations of a wide range of diseases and injuries that impair neuromuscular function; (6) special techniques, including single fiber studies, motor unit potential analysis, somatosensory evoked potentials, and autonomic testing; and (7) ultrasonography of nerve and muscle.
Target Audience: This activity is intended for practicing electromyographers, fellows, senior residents, and other physicians.
Learning Objectives
- After viewing this activity, participants will be able to:
- Discuss the basic anatomy relevant to electrodiagnosis, including surface landmarks and electrode placement
- Identify normal and abnormal electrical potentials recorded during needle electromyographic exams Explain the physiologic basis for nerve conduction, neuromuscular transmission, single muscle fiber and motor unit activity
- Discuss the application of special techniques, including single fiber electromyography, motor unit potential analysis, and somatosensory evoked potentials
- Describe the clinicopathologic correlations and the application of electrodiagnostic techniques in a wide range of diseases and injuries that impair neuromuscular function
