Cervical, Brachial, and Upper Limb Nerve Studies
摘要
In this chapter, the most common techniques to perform motor, sensory, and mixed nerve conduction studies of cervical, brachial and upper extremity nerves are illustrated. The description follows the same schematic structure with the indication of the nerve fibres tested, their route, and the placement of recording and stimulating electrodes. Control values for each technique as well exemplificative recordings are reported. Comments on technical pitfalls and clinical correlations are also provided.
