constitutes the recording, display, and estimation of action potentials originating from central nervous system (evoked potentials), peripheral nerves (nerve conduction assessments), and muscles (electromyography). [2] Nerve conduction studies (NCSs) are part of electrodiagnostic procedures, which helps in diagnosing abnormalities of nerves. NCSs provide a means of confirming the presence and extent of peripheral nerve damage. These studies can diagnostically aid in patients alleged of experiencing nearly any disorder of peripheral nervous system, comprising disorders of nerve roots, peripheral nerves, and muscle and neuromuscular junctions. [3] NCSs include motor conduction studies, sensory conduction studies, and late response studies. Motor conduction
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
