Content

This program includes 41 lectures ranging from 30 to 45 minutes each, exploring foundational neurophysiology, clinical electrodiagnostic applications for focal and generalized neuromuscular disorders, motor neuron diseases, polyneuropathies, neuromuscular junction conditions, myopathies, and relevant special topics. Key learning points cover needle EMG basics, neuropathies related to systemic diseases, muscle channelopathies, and more.

• Basics of Needle EMG: Voluntary Activity. Interpretation of motor unit potentials and interference patterns in disease.
• Neuropathies Associated with Systemic Disease and Cancer. Characterization of neuropathy phenotypes to identify underlying causes.
• Muscle Channelopathies. Role of genetic testing in patients with muscle stiffness and myotonia.
• Additional focused lectures addressing a broad range of neuromuscular conditions.

Learning Objectives

At the completion of this course, you should be able to:

• List the methods of rehabilitation management of neuromuscular disease
• Recognize the common neuromuscular mimics of the upper extremity
• Identify the signs of neuropathies found on physical examination
• List the substances that can cause toxic polyneuropathies
• Compare the two groups of disorders found in muscle channelopathies
• Describe the classic presentation of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
• Explain how to tailor the treatment of myasthenia gravis to disease severity and individual patient
• Discuss how to evaluate a patient with generalized weakness
• Outline the role of electromyography in focal mononeuropathies of the leg
• Name the common inherited and acquired causes of rhabdomyolysis
