Features: This book introduces the basic techniques of electromyography (EMG) diagnosis, the characteristics of normal and abnormal EMG findings, as well as the principles and judgment criteria for its application in neurological diseases. It provides detailed descriptions of standardized diagnostic techniques for peripheral nerve trauma, peripheral neuropathy, peripheral nerve entrapment syndromes, and nerve root compression disorders. The book also includes thought-provoking questions to help beginners master this technique. The language is concise, well-organized, and highly practical, with over 200 illustrations to aid understanding. It serves as a working guide and reference for neurologists, orthopedic clinicians, and professionals in electromyography and rehabilitation medicine. The book consists of two parts and thirteen chapters. The first part primarily outlines the basics of EMG examination, including peripheral nerve physiology, neuromuscular electrophysiological characteristics, and the basic requirements for neuromuscular examination. It particularly covers specific methods for measuring the conduction velocities of various sensory and motor nerves, the needle insertion sites and key examination points for common muscles throughout the body, as well as various special examinations. The second part focuses on specific cases, detailing various mononeuropathies, plexus and nerve root lesions, polyneuropathies, neuromuscular junction and muscle diseases, serving as a reference for clinicians.
