Electromyography and Neuromuscular Disorders 3/e

New to This Edition
Ensure correct EMG needle placement and avoid neurovascular injuries by referring to more than 65 detailed, cross-
sectional anatomy drawings.
Diagnose many newly defined genetic neuromuscular conditions based on their electrodiagnostic presentation.
Stay up to date with must-know information on iatrogenic complications of electrodiagnostic studies.
Visualize key concepts more easily with a brand-new full-color design, new artwork, and new photographs.
Access Electromyography and Neuromuscular Disorders online, fully searchable, at www.expertconsult.com, along with more
than 70 videos that allow you to see and hear the EMG waveforms discussed in the text, as well as a convenient "test
yourself" module.
Key Features
Successfully correlate electrodiagnostic findings with key clinical findings for more confident diagnoses.
Clearly see how to apply what you've learned with abundant case studies throughout the book.
Obtain relevant clinical guidance quickly and easily with an accessible, easy-to-read writing style that's both
comprehensive and easy to understand.
