  2. Electroneuronography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electroneuronography

    Electroneuronography or electroneurography (ENoG) is a neurological non-invasive test used to study the facial nerve in cases of muscle weakness in one side of the face (Bell's palsy). The technique of electroneuronography was first used by Esslen and Fisch in 1979 to describe a technique that examines the integrity and conductivity of ...

  3. Electrophysiological techniques for clinical diagnosis

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrophysiological...

    The compression of the median nerve within the carpal canal of the wrist and the progression of symptoms resulting from this entrapment is known as carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Nerve conduction studies have been used as a control electrophysiological method in the development of better CTS diagnostic techniques. [9]

  4. Electrodiagnostic medicine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrodiagnostic_medicine

    Electrodiagnostic medicine traces its origin back to a 1791 experiment by Luigi Galvani. Galvani depolarized frog leg muscles by using metal rods to make contact with the leg muscles. The development of the oscilloscope in 1897 significantly enhanced the ability of scientists to record signals from nerve and muscle. However, it was the needs of ...

  5. Myasthenia gravis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myasthenia_gravis

    Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disease of the neuromuscular junction which results from antibodies that block or destroy nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (AChR) at the junction between the nerve and muscle. [6] [7] [1] This prevents nerve impulses from triggering muscle contractions. [1]

  6. Nerve conduction study - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_conduction_study

    Nerve conduction studies are beneficial to diagnose certain diseases of the nerves of the body. The test is not invasive, but can be painful due to the electrical shocks administered during the test. The shocks are associated with a low amount of electric current, so they pose minimal risk to the patients.

  7. Electrogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrogram

    An electromyogram (EMG) is an electrical recording of the activity of a muscle or muscle group. An EMG study can be combined with a nerve conduction study to diagnose neuromuscular diseases such as peripheral neuropathy and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

    Hey, you guys! “The Goonies” is still good enough for the big screen. Warner Bros. has announced that in honor of its 100th anniversary, it will release the beloved 1985 film in theaters.

  9. Clinical neurophysiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clinical_neurophysiology

    Electromyography and nerve conduction studies: These diagnostic tests of the peripheral nervous system are especially useful in evaluating diseases of the muscles, nerves, and nerve roots. The basis of these tests is recording electrical activity of the muscles and the passage of electric signal along the nerves in the limbs.
