ELECTRODIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION OF ULNAR NEUROPATHY

Course overview

ELECTRODIAGNOSTIC TESTING, WHICH INCLUDES ELECTROMYOGRAPHY AND NERVE CONDUCTION STUDIES, CAN BE USED TO CONFIRM THE DIAGNOSIS OF ULNAR NEUROPATHY, LOCATE THE LOCATION OF PATHOLOGICAL ULNAR NERVE COMPRESSION AND DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN MONONEUROPATHY, POLYNEUROPATHY, PLEXOPATHY, AND RADICULOPATHY. THIS ACTIVITY DESCRIBES THE INVALUABLE ROLE OF ELECTRODIAGNOSIS IN ULNAR NEUROPATHY AND HIGHLIGHTS THE ROLE OF AN INTERPROFESSIONAL TEAM IN EVALUATING AND TREATING PATIENTS WITH ULNAR NEUROPATHY.
