Summary:
"Electrodiagnosis, as an extension of the neurologic evaluation, employs the same anatomic principles of localization as clinical examination, searching for evidence of motor and sensory compromise (Fig. 1-1). Neurophysiologic studies supplement the history and physical examination, adding precision and detail, and delineate a variety of pathologic changes that may otherwise escape detection. Electrical studies also allow quantitative measures which help determine the integrity of the sensory and motor function. Meaningful analysis demands an adequate knowledge on precise location of skeletal muscles and peripheral nerves. A review of peripheral neuroanatomy serves as a framework for the rest of the text with a few schematic illustrations at the risk of oversimplification"--
