“…Thus a grading of 2+ positive sharp waves likely represents more axon loss than 1+, but not necessarily twice as much; we actually do not know how much more. Additionally, one does not require complete axon loss to observe 4+ FPs, and it may be that loss of a relatively small proportion of the total axons can result in 4+ FPs …”

This article reviews the electrodiagnostic (EDX) prognostic factors for focal traumatic and nontraumatic peripheral nerve injuries. Referring physicians and patients often benefit from general and nerve-specific prognostic information from the EDX consultant. Knowing the probable outcome from a nerve injury allows the referring physician to choose the best treatment options for his/her patients. Nerve injuries are variable in their mechanism, location, and pathophysiology. The general effects of the injuries on nerve and muscle are well known, but more research is needed for nerve-specific information. Several factors currently known to influence prognosis include: nature of the nerve trauma, amount of axon loss, recruitment in muscles supplied by the nerve, the extent of demyelination, and the distance to reinnervate functional muscles. This article reviews these general concepts and also nerve-specific EDX measures that predict outcome after focal neuropathies.

“…Performing accurate diagnoses of neuromuscular disorders using needle EMG requires electromyographers to receive sufficient training and have a comprehensive knowledge of neuromuscular anatomy, physiology, and diseases. 1,[7][8][9] This means that a considerable amount of time is needed to achieve adequate skill and knowledge in performing the needle EMG procedure and interpreting the findings, and continuous efforts should be made to master this.…”

Clinical evaluations, nerve conduction studies, and electromyography play major complementary roles in electrophysiologic diagnoses. Electromyography can be used to assess pathologic changes and localize lesions occurring in locations ranging from motor units to anterior-horn cells. Successfully performing electromyography requires knowledge of the anatomy, physiology, and pathology of the peripheral nervous system as well as sufficient skill and interpretation ability. Electromyography techniques include acquiring data from visual/ auditory signals and performing needle positioning, semiquantitation, and interpretation. Here we introduce the basic concepts of electromyography to guide clinicians in performing electromyography appropriately.

“…Vom Befund zur Polyneuropathiepraktisches Vorgehen ! Geben die Beschwerden eines Patienten und der neurologische Befund Anlass, eine Polyneuropathie zu vermuten, so sind eben diese Daten bereits eine gute Grundlage für recht weitgehende differenzialdiagnostische Überlegungen [1,3,4,14]. Diese Überlegungen werden idealerweise durch die neurophysiologische Diagnostik ergänzt.…”
