Main description:

Ideal for on-the-go reference and review, Easy EMG, 3rd Edition, covers fundamental principles, how to perform, and how to interpret electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies (NCS)-all in an easy-to-read, well-organized resource. This unique, pocket-sized manual offers expert guidance on the most common conditions encountered in daily practice, with clear illustrations showing the correct needle placement for each condition.

Presents "just the facts" of EMG and NCS in a compact format-perfect for on-the-go learning or review.

Features at-a-glance tables of complex information for quick and easy reference and a new, all-inclusive chart that includes electrodiagnostic findings in specific disorders.

Depicts precise needle placement through clear, computer-generated illustrations.

Includes new and updated videos, including clips on motor and sensory nerve conduction studies and H-reflex.

Reflects the latest changes to EMG billing codes to ensure accurate, up-to-date application.
