Volume II (2nd Edition), Electronic Atlas of Electromyographic Waveforms

Paul E. Barkhaus, M.D.; Sanjeev D. Nandedkar, Ph.D.

The nine CDs of the expanded second edition are now available. It contains 4 sections: (1) Instrumentation, (2) Insertional & Spontaneous Activity, (3) Motor Unit Action Potential Analysis, and (4) Interference Pattern / Recruitment. Each topic begins with a detailed lecture that describes physiology, pathology, waveform recognition & characterization, methods for capturing the potential, interpretation, and reporting. The methods include those used in the routine EMG examination, as well as sophisticated quantitative analysis. In the workshops, you will see the authors demonstrate the techniques using signals recorded in normal subjects, and in patients with a variety of neuromuscular diseases. The electronic technology will give you the feeling as if you are in a real laboratory with a real patient studied with a real instrument as the authors systematically teach EMG signal analysis. Finally, you will be able to take quizzes that simulate “Board Examinations”. Hints are provided to guide the student to arrive at the correct answer.
