About Atlas Of Nerve Conduction Studies And
Product Description Beautifully and lavishly illustrated, Atlas of Nerve Conduction Studies and Electromyography demystifies the major conditions affecting peripheral nerves and provides electrodiagnostic strategies for confirming suspected lesions of the peripheral nervous system. Building on the success of the landmark Atlas of Electromyography, this new text is divided into sections based on the major peripheral nerves. It contains detailed illustrations of each nerve along with a discussion of its anatomy, followed by a thorough outline of the clinical conditions andentrapment syndromes that affect the nerve, including a list of the etiologies, clinical features, and electrodiagnostic strategies used for each syndrome. Routine and special motor and sensory nerve conduction studies are shown in an anatomical illustration. In addition, each muscle supplied by theperipheral nerve is illustrated showing the root, plexus, and peripheral nerve supply to the muscle and is accompanied by a corresponding human photograph. Written text provides information about the nerve conduction studies, muscle origin, tendon insertion, voluntary activation maneuver, and thesite of optimum needle insertion, which is identified in the figures by a black dot or a needle electrode. Atlas of Nerve Conduction Studies and Electromyography is the perfect anatomical guide for neurologists, specialists in physical medicine and rehabilitation, and electrodiagnostic medicine consultants, while also providing support for individuals in residency training programs, critical caremedicine, neurological surgery, and family practice. Review Review from the first edition: "The written text with drawings and photographs for each muscle described is beautifully organized in one book page, a fact that enables a quick search of the book... This is an excellent book, classic and up to date at the same time, very easy to read with simple (but not simplified) 'take home'messages...[this] is a wonderful meeting point of three academic generations." - European Journal of Paediatric NeurologyReview from the first edition: "All of the plexuses and peripheral nerves in the upper and lower extremities, which are commonly evaluated clinically and by EMG, have excellent diagrams and descriptions. The brief comments and clinical features, with references, add to the value of the atlas... The greatest value of this atlas isthe diagrams of the root innervation of the specific muscle to be examined. These diagrams are especially important in the evaluation and diagnosis of patients with possible root-plexus syndromes. This atlas is recommended especially for the beginning resident physician or fellow in neuromusculardisease. However, it must be combined with a more complete text of neuromuscular disease and electromyography. The atlas is a worthwhile addition to the library in the EMG laboratory." - Annals of Neurology"There is no question that Leis and Schenk's Atlas of Nerve Conduction Studies and Electromyography makes a valuable contribution to any electromyographer's library. There are numerous excellent textbooks of electromyography available but this one fills an important niche in that it provides thesalient information for the trainee, novice and expert. This text condenses the theory and practical information regarding nerve conduction studies and electromyography in an easy to read format the illustrations are clear, concise and allow the reader to visualize the information that is describedvery well in the accompanying text... This textbook provides an excellent synthesis of anatomy, physiology, clinical applications and electromyoneurographic techniques. The authors should be commended for condensing all of this important information into a straightforward and easy to read atlas." -- Daniel L. Menkes, MD, Department of Neurology, University of Connecticut Health Center, Farmington, CT"Drs. Leis and Schenk have produced a superb atlas in the field of el
