内容説明

Now in its second edition, this volume provides a comprehensive guide to the principles, methodology, and clinical applications of single fiber electromyography (SFEMG). The book provides complete information on equipment, analysis of SFEMG recordings, recording procedures during voluntary muscle contraction and electrical stimulation, and SFEMG findings in various neuromuscular disorders. Throughout, the authors explain how SFEMG findings relate to the microphysiology of normal and diseased muscle. The second edition provides updated information on technological advances, stimulation SFEMG, normal values, and findings in diseases. New chapters cover topics such as SFEMG with cortical stimulation and SFEMG in scoliosis, hemiplegia after stroke, and polyneuronal muscle fiber innervation. A new appendix includes tables of reference values, advice on electrode maintenance, and a summary of indications for SFEMG.
