However, it was the needs of those with severe injuries during World War II that created the field of modern electrodiagnostic medicine.

The goal of electrodiagnostic testing is to compare the speed of conduction in the median nerve with conduction in other nerves supplying the hand.
25.
The meeting offers educational sessions updating physicians, technologists, and researchers working in the area of neuromuscular, musculoskeletal, and electrodiagnostic medicine.
26.
The neuromuscular medicine examination includes electrodiagnostic testing as part of the certification examination but also includes broader topics such as genetics, biopsy, and rehabilitation.
27.
The patient must have pain with resisted supination, positive middle finger test, positive electrodiagnostic findings, and pain relief after anesthetic injection into the radial tunnel.

There are several organisations that certify MDs in the field including the American Clinical Neurophysiology Society ( www . acns . org ) and the American Board of Electrodiagnostic Medicine.

In medical electrodiagnostic testing for a patient with weakness, careful analysis of the MUAP size, shape, and recruitment pattern can help in distinguishing a myopathy from a neuropathy.

Electrodiagnostic testing, consisting of NCS ( Nerve conduction study ) and EMG ( Electromyography ), is also a powerful diagnostic tool that may show nerve root injury in suspected areas.
