EMG Case Studies

The AAPM&R EMG Case Study Series is a programmed learning series of case studies in electrodiagnosis for physiatrists, residents in physiatry, neurologists, and other physicians using electrodiagnostic techniques.

Each stage of the case is presented sequentially, just as you might uncover clinically relevant information in a diagnostic protocol. You may take as much time as you wish to read each successive section, consider the information presented, and answer the questions. The diagnostic impression, discussion, and references are included with all cases.

Each Case Study is designated for 1.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ and fulfills the requirement for Part II of Maintenance of Certification (MOC) set forth by the American Board of PM&R (Lifelong Learning and Self Assessment).

After completing this educational activity, participants will be able to:

• Assess their ability to apply a systematic approach to the differential diagnosis of EMG cases.

• Compare their diagnostic impressions with those of leading experts in electrodiagnosis.

Case Studies are FREE for members!
