Needle EMG: primer

[@bahaawaad8620]

Large, long, polyphasic MUAPS with reduced recruitment suggestive of neuropathic pattern. Your content is concise & informative. Keep up the good work 🌹

It is a neurogenic pattern some of th MUP are higher than 2mv , and less recruitment, Thank you for this interesting video very helpful, if you can give us more video training 😅that will be fantastic

[@leidenclinicalneurophysiology]

You are absolutely correct! Unfortunately I don't have a prize to hand out... I plan to be back with more recordtijd soon!

Fibrillation and polyphasic waves consistent with neuropathic patterns

Great explanation. Thank you

Hey there. I am from Pakistan and You are amzaing

Really Nice explanation..kindly add more live vedio about EMG.

[@asmaalhaddad3391]

Please 🙏 more practical videos and more examples. and can du talk about EMG bei children

[@Liv__346]

Thank you so much, this video was very helpful!

Long duration, large amplitude, polyphasic MUAP with reduced recruitment. Spontaneous activity: fibrillation. This is suggestive for neuropathic lesion.

I feel audio is not so clear, content is good 😊

Hello sir. Thanks for sharing. I had an EMG done roughly 3 weeks ago to investigate muscle twitching in my right arm. ( not sure if that was recommended ). The emg was uncomfortable. I jumped at one point during the exam during the NVC part. The examiner apologised. It was over my ulnar nerve. I was told my EMG was normal. Apart from a mild ulnar neuropathy ( velocity 40) I was unaware nor did I have symptoms of neuropathy prior to the exam ever . Now 3 weeks later and i am still having excruciating burning in my palm 5th and 4th digit and shocky feelings in my arm after the EMG, all of which is new to me. Is this normal? Can the emg cause nerve damage ? If so how can I find out? I was told by a colleague that during the needle portion no needles was placed near my ulnar or elbow region. Can the volts during NVC cause nerve damage or irritation that lasts this long ? Are EMG standardised so that the examiner cannot exceed unsafe voltage? And is any of this temporary from your experience? Thank you kindly for any input you may have.

Large, long, some polyphasic MUPs, reduced recruitment. Old neuropathic injury.

Great explanation. Thank you
