Established as a staple reference in the EMG laboratory, Clinical Electromyography: Nerve Conduction Studies is now in its revised, updated Third Edition. It provides encyclopedic coverage of current nerve conduction techniques and their clinical uses.

Coverage includes:

• new chapter on special nerve conduction techniques
• describes studies such as motor unit number estimation and muscle fiber conduction velocity and discusses their clinical value and limitations
• new nerve conduction techniques and developments in electromyographic diagnosis of immunologically-mediated neuropathies, segmental demyelination, mild carpal tunnel syndrome, and neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome
• more than 500 illustrations
