ELECTRODIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION OF CERVICAL RADICULOPATHY

Course overview

A STRONG CLINICAL DIAGNOSIS OF CERVICAL RADICULOPATHY CAN BE MADE WITH A THOROUGH HISTORY AND PHYSICAL EXAM; HOWEVER, FINDINGS ARE CONFIRMED DEFINITIVELY BY ELECTRODIAGNOSTIC STUDIES, INCLUDING NERVE CONDUCTION STUDIES AND NEEDLE ELECTROMYOGRAPHY. THIS ACTIVITY DESCRIBES THE ELECTRODIAGNOSTIC FINDINGS IN BOTH NERVE CONDUCTION TESTS AND NEEDLE ELECTROMYOGRAPHY IN CERVICAL RADICULOPATHY AND DISCUSSES THE IMPORTANCE OF AN INTERPROFESSIONAL TEAM'S ROLE IN MANAGING CARE FOR TREATMENT OPTIONS.
