ELECTRONIC EMG MANUAL®
OVERVIEW
The EMG Manual is a simple step-by-step approach to the basic understanding of EMG and Nerve Conductions studies. It is designed to familiarize the reader with the basic aspects of nerve conduction studies and needle examinations and can serve as a guide to the test, a preparation for the EMG rotation, or as a simple means for better understanding of the indications, preparations, interpretation and performance of EMG Nerve and Conduction studies
NERVE CONDUCTION STUDIES | UPPER EXTREMITY NERVES | THE RADIAL NERVE
 

Routinely, only the sensory fibers of the radial nerve are studied because the distal muscles innervated by this nerve are in the forearm, where the chances of volume conduction from other muscles are great. In radial nerve lesions, however, the motor fibers are studied, with the response recorded from the extensor difitorum communis.
