I am a neurology resident in the US. I watched several NCS/EMG videos. This video is one of the best one. Thank yoy❤

This is the most helpful video I came across. Came in handy as a medical student presenting in Neuro Club on interpretation of EMG and NCS values in GBS.

This is an amazing lecture! I am a medical student on an EMG elective and this explained everything so clearly with wonderful examples. Thank you so much!

Excellent presentation thank you very much. Going for my test in June I have to wait till June it’s March and my left side is just bugging the crap out of me and I’m down to my foot getting better my right side now mostly on the left it comes and goes but when it comes it’s not comfy it’s just a persistent weird numbness tingling nonstop sensation and even affects the back of my head I get the weirdest sensation in my brain specially on the right side where it’s like my brain is falling asleep

Thanks a lot for posting that video. Is there some lecture of surface electromyography?

Had a emg done on right arm shoulder and neck . Found damage in shoulder . Have torn rotator cuff so this pushes back surgery 2-3 months need to strengthen shoulder and heal nerve before surgery. Strange thing is I have no real pain just limiting motion and strength also a lot of grinding in shoulder raising arm. Oh hated needle portion of emg !

Excellent video, but when you were talking about F reflex, you said it is constant in latency. I think that the F reflex is not consistent in latency but the A wave reflex it is, which is the only way to differentiate both.

Very good presentation. I have thoroughly enjoy the video.

How to straighten a curvy base, please? I have a green and a red electrode I place on the patient along with a concentric needle

When comparing results from nerve conduction test between left and right cut. antebrachii med should a 0.6 ms delay considered to be difference? Taking into account that we know from physical exam the site with delayed latency has no feeling sensation?

[norreaby]

you have summarized all the needed information

Hi All,

If a patient has benign fasciculations and during the EMG procedure, they experience muscle twitching etc in the area that is monitored by the electrode, do the EMG results show abnormality?

How are they any different than someone with a condition such as ALS, or MS?

To me This Is Grate. Thank you very very much....
