NCS: Basics, Common Abnormalities and Case Study Review

Course introduction:
Please join us for this ON-DEMAND event of a previously broadcast eSeminar presented by James Lewis, R.NCS.T., CNCT. We will review the data of several common entrapments / compressions. What do the numbers tell us? How do we, based on these findings, evaluate severity? We will also review Conduction Blocks and Wallerian degeneration and relate the findings of these. How do these findings differentiate nerve injuries? Are there additional studies we can record to help clarify the findings? We will also review several interesting cases including a distally predominate symmetrical polyneuropathy, brachial plexus lesions and cervical root avulsion.

Learning Objectives:
At the conclusion of this eSeminar the participants will be able to:

• Understand a printed NCS/EMG report
• Evaluate a report while looking for values outside the expected ranges
• Use the history to turn these abnormal values into an impression
• Gain some general insight to some common nerve injuries/entrapments/compressions
