This week we are going to discuss not an injury but a specific test that is performed to diagnose an injury. That test? The nerve conduction velocity test or NCV/EMG. The nerve conduction velocity ...

What are nerve conduction tests? Nerve conduction tests are performed to evaluate the ability of nerves to conduct impulses and the speed thereof. Nerve conduction studies can indicate the extent of ...

COPENHAGEN, Denmark — British investigators found that a 10-point carpal tunnel syndrome scoring system they developed correlated well with nerve conduction study findings, suggesting that using the ...

Nerve conduction studies show how well the body’s electrical signals travel down your nerves. During a nerve conduction study test, providers apply small electrical shocks to your nerve and record how ...

The treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome has changed from previous extensile incisions under general anesthesia. Both open and endoscopic techniques have evolved to minimize incision length and ...

Simple resistance training may help counteract age-related nerve deterioration that puts seniors at risk of injuries from ...

Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) affects the peripheral nerves. Tests to diagnose this condition include nerve conduction studies, electromyography, and sometimes an MRI. CIDP ...

Simple resistance training may help counteract age-related nerve deterioration that puts seniors at risk of injuries from ...

To measure each subject’s nerve conduction velocity for their study, researchers Jason DeFreitas (pictured far right) and JoCarol Shields used nerve conduction tests that stimulated the nerves in the ...

CIDP causes muscle weakness and numbness, among other symptoms. Diagnosing CIDP involves peripheral nervous system testing, cerebrospinal fluid analysis, and imaging. CIDP is an immune-mediated ...
