Electromyography and Neuromuscular Disorders 3/e

All of the information readers need to understand and interpret electrodiagnostic studies. It emphasizes clinical/neurophysiological correlations and uses a practical, hands-on, interactive approach throughout. With chapters on electrical safety and the use of EMG in the ICU, this resource continues to be the best single source to consult for guidance on the clinical and electrophysiological evaluation of disorders of the peripheral nervous system.
