Abstract

Peripheral neuropathies are the most common neuromuscular disorder seen by neurologists. Determining full features and characteristics based on history and physical examination alone can be difficult. Electrodiagnostic testing is an extension of the neurological examination and can assist in full characterization and provide unique information on underlying pathological processes. This article presents a practical approach to electrodiagnostic testing in patients with peripheral neuropathies.
