Sommario/riassunto

This concise, clearly written, practical book provides a complete overview of clinical electrodiagnostic medicine. Essentials of Electrodiagnostic Medicine is an intermediate level text for residents, fellows, and practitioners in neurology and physiatry. This practical book is readable in the course of a standard resident rotation and ideal for board exam review, while also comprehensive enough to be a useful reference. The second edition has been thoroughly updated throughout while retaining the key features of the first edition. Essentials of Electrodiagnostic Medicine is divided into two p
