Short description
This New Edition delivers, in a straightforward manner, all of the information readers need to understand and interpret electrodiagnostic studies. It emphasizes clinical/neurophysiological correlations and uses a practical, hands-on, interactive approach throughout. With new chapters on electrical safety and the use of EMG in the ICUand the inclusion of two bonus CDs with over 75 EMG waveformsthis resource continues to be the single source to consult for guidance on the clinical and electrophysiological evaluation of disorders of the peripheral nervous system.

Review
REVIEW OF THE LAST EDITION:
Should be a welcome addition to the library of any physician or student who is interested in peripheral nervous system disorders. -Archives of Neurology, review of the text
Highly recommended...An excellent study guide for those preparing for certifying examinations in electrodiagnostic medicine. -Neurology, review of the video companion.
Preston and Shapiro provide expanded coverage of nerve conduction studies and electromyography (EMG) of neuromuscular disorders. The volume includes case examples, updated/new figures, and a summary of normal adult and pediatric values from nerve conduction studies. The two companion CDs feature common EMG waveforms.
