Abstract

AbstractThis article will deal with the electrodiagnostic assessment of the various neuromuscular disorders. For clarity, they will broadly be divided in three major groups: neurogenic disorders affecting anterior horn cells, ganglia, roots, plexuses, or nerves; myopathies; and neuromuscular junction disorders. The mainstay of the diagnostic tools used relies on electroneurography (nerve conduction studies) and electromyography (needle EMG) techniques, commonly referred to as EMG. A short introduction to nerve conduction studies is given in the second section. For an in‐depth discussion of the various needle EMG techniques, the authors refer the reader to the other articles in this section.
