Original PDF Ebook – Buschbacher’s Manual of Nerve Conduction Studies3rd Edition – 9781620700877

The gold standard in many EMG labs, this resource is a practical working reference for performing a wide variety of common nerve conduction studies. It provides both practicing clinicians and trainees with an impressive database of normal values they can use to interpret nerve conduction results with confidence. The third edition is revised to deliver an up-to-date set of normal values that take into account age, sex, height, and body mass index for a wide range of demographic groups. Two new authors bring a novel clinical perspective to the manual along with valuable tips and pearls to help the busy electromyographer conduct more effective studies and make a more informed diagnosis._x000D_
The third edition includes updated nomenclature and methodology for conducting nerve conduction tests along with supportive evidence to bolster all recommendations. New illustrations and diagrams supplement precise descriptions of electrode placements and study techniques. Additionally, the authors codify the acceptable differences in latency, amplitude, and nerve conduction velocity between nerves of the same or opposite limbs, to foster a more precise diagnosis. Recently updated references and suggested readings for each study provide the opportunity for more in-depth learning._x000D_
For determining normal reference values for any patient, or for review of a specific nerve conduction technique, this third edition of Buschbacher’s Manual of Nerve Conduction Studies is essential for physicians and technologists alike._x000D_
