Electrodiagnostic Medicine and Neuromuscular Disorders 2023 (CME VIDEOS)

Designed for neurologists and physical medicine & rehabilitation doctors, residents, and fellows, this continuing medical education program covers all diagnostic and management approaches to both inherited and acquired neuromuscular conditions.

The 41 lectures in Electrodiagnostic Medicine and Neuromuscular Disorders — each just 30 and 45 minutes in length — delve into basic techniques and clinical applications of electrodiagnosis and ultrasound, as well as generalized disorders, motor neuron diseases, polyneuropathies, neuromuscular junction disorders, and myopathies. Key take-home points from this online CME program include:

  • Basics of Needle EMG: Voluntary Activity. Motor unit potential waveform reflects the change in motor unit architecture due to disease processes, while the interference pattern provides information about the number of motor units and their activation.
  • Neuropathies Associated with Systemic Disease and Cancer. Countless systemic disorders — metabolic, nutritional, inflammatory, infectious, neoplastic, and others — can cause neuropathy and accordingly, neuropathy can take many forms. Carefully characterizing the phenotype of neuropathy can help narrow down the relevant causes.
  • Muscle Channelopathies. For a patient with a personal and family history of muscle stiffness and pain, consider genetic testing for myotonic disorders.
  • And more…

Learning Objectives

At the completion of this course, you should be able to:

  • List the methods of rehabilitation management of neuromuscular disease
  • Recognize the common neuromuscular mimics of the upper extremity
  • Identify the signs of neuropathies found on physical examination
  • List the substances that can cause toxic polyneuropathies
  • Compare the two groups of disorders found in muscle channelopathies
  • Describe the classic presentation of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
  • Explain how to tailor the treatment of myasthenia gravis to disease severity and individual patient
  • Discuss how to evaluate a patient with generalized weakness
  • Outline the role of electromyography in focal mononeuropathies of the leg
  • Name the common inherited and acquired causes of rhabdomyolysis

Intended Audience
