Workshop 4
Clinical pearls of NCV–EMG
Venue: Anatomy Hall Ground Floor
Electrodiagnostic medicine is an essential component of modern Physical Medicine &
Rehabilitation, providing valuable information for the diagnosis, localization, characterization
and prognostication of neuromuscular disorders. Appropriate interpretation of Nerve
Conduction Studies (NCS) and Electromyography (EMG) is crucial for clinical decision-making and rehabilitation planning.
This interactive, clinically oriented and practical pre-conference workshop is designed to provide participants with a systematic approach to performing and interpreting NCV and EMG studies, with emphasis on commonly encountered clinical conditions and practical
electrodiagnostic problem-solving.
- Salient Features
- Fundamentals and clinical applications of electrodiagnostic studies
- Understanding the principles of Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS/NCV)
- Practical approach to motor and sensory nerve conduction studies
- Techniques for identifying and evaluating common peripheral nerve lesions and entrapment neuropathies
- Approach to radiculopathy, plexopathy, mononeuropathy and polyneuropathy
- Principles and practical aspects of needle EMG
- Understanding insertional activity, spontaneous activity, motor unit potentials and recruitment patterns
- Correlation of NCS–EMG findings with clinical examination
- Systematic approach to electrodiagnostic localization
- Differentiating neuropathic and myopathic disorders
- Practical approach to carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, radiculopathy and generalized neuropathies
- Recognition of common technical pitfalls, artifacts and interpretation errors
- Interactive case-based electrodiagnostic problem-solving
- Live demonstrations and hands-on exposure to NCV–EMG techniques
- Tips for preparing a structured and clinically meaningful electrodiagnostic report
- Who Should Attend?
The workshop is particularly relevant for PM&R physicians, neurologists, orthopaedic surgeons, neurosurgeons, residents and postgraduate trainees in PM&R and other specialties involved in the evaluation of neuromuscular disorders
- Workshop Objective
The workshop aims to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical electrodiagnostic skills, enabling participants to approach NCV–EMG studies systematically, recognize important electro-diagnostic patterns, correlate findings with clinical presentation and use the results effectively for diagnosis, prognosis and rehabilitation planning.
