Assessment methods using electromagnetism

Course Description: This course is designed to provide students with foundational knowledge and skills in the field of neuromuscular electrophysiological diagnosis through the study of the anatomical and physiological principles of nerve conduction, electromyography, nerve conduction studies, repetitive nerve stimulation techniques, and sensory evoked potentials. The course also focuses on the principles of performing these tests, interpreting their normal and abnormal results, and applying them in the diagnosis of neuromuscular disorders and nerve entrapment syndromes. Furthermore, the course enhances analytical thinking and teamwork skills.
Credits: 2
