Nerve Conduction Studies
NCS
The Goals of Nerve Conduction Studies are as follows:
A. Localization of the lesion in the:
1. Nerve – mononeuropathy, mononeuritis multiplex, polyneuropathy, plexopathy, radiculopathy, polyradiculopathy, neuronopathy
2. Neuromuscular junction - presynaptic, postsynaptic
3. Muscle
Underlying nerve pathophysiology
Fiber type involved – motor, sensory, motor and sensory
Pathology – primary demylination (acquire or inherited)
Primary axonal loss
B. Assessment of severity – correlation with clinical symptoms
C. Assessment of temporal course -Hyperacute, Acute, Subacute or Chronic
If you need portable NCS studies or are interested to learn more about this procedure, please feel free to email us for details at mdteqinc@socal.rr.com
The central role of NCS and EMG is in evaluating patients with neuromuscular disorder. It used in the diagnosis of peripheral nervous system disorders. It provides useful information in disorders of the central system (eg. Tremor or upper motor neuron weakness)
