At
Northern New Jersey Pain & Rehabilitation Center, Electrodiagnostic
Medicine is the medical subspecialty that applies
neurophysiologic techniques to diagnose, evaluate, and treat
our patients with impairments of the neurologic, neuromuscular,
and/or muscular systems.
An electrodiagnostic examination is a medical consultation in
the specialized area of neuromuscular diseases using
electrophysiologic techniques. The electrodiagnostic medicine
consultant will elicit the pertinent history and
perform the necessary physical examination to define the
clinical problem and differential diagnoses. The electrodiagnostic medicine consultant
will then be able to
select and perform a logical sequence of electrophysiologic
tests and interpret the data to arrive at the probable
diagnosis. Because the electrodiagnostic evaluation often must
be modified during the procedure as findings unfold, a set
protocol for all patients is inappropriate and is handled
specifically. |
