Summary
| Description | This program, hosted by Dr. Richard Rosenbaum of the University of California Medical Center, discusses the use of electromyography (EMG) in understanding neuromuscular diseases. It covers some clinical points of electrophysiology rather than the technical aspects and concentrates on the findings of the EMG needle examination. Dr. Rosenbaum explains the value of EMG when findings can be interpreted and integrated into the total clinical picture of the patient and discusses inadequacies and questions that EMG cannot answer. Several myographs are shown and analyzed in great detail. Dr. Rosenbaum acknowledges that EMGs are not perfect and that there is still much to discover, but adequate study of electromyography can have a great impact in treating patients. A myograph can be defined as any device used to measure the force produced by a muscle when under contraction. This presentation focuses on the clinical points of electromyography so that doctors in the audience can make better use o |
