Thanks a lot for sharing these great videos. I wondered because in my anatomy books, the profound peroneal nerve innervates the extensor digitorum brevis muscle. Its localisation just above the ankle is described much more in the middle of the leg, where the tibial artery is. But obviously your stimulation just hit the nerve to the extensor digitorum muscles. I thought, where you stimulated is the superficial branch of the peroneal nerve, which innervates only two muscles, doing pronation. Can you explain if my books are wrong or if there is a common variation in the innervation of the extensor digitorum brevis? Best regards
Thanks for the video. Do we measure the distance between below-knee and above-knee stimulation sites with the knee in a bent position? Would that be a true reflection of the nerve course?
When I had mine done doctor the right foot moved fine and even dumped off the bed,but when they checked my left foot it didn't matter how much strength he put through my foot it only moved the toes a little bit,could I have nerve damage in my left foot? My EMG readings were below average aswell
This is THE BEST demo of lower EMG on RU-vid. Thank you Dr! I had no muscle response or toe movement on my left leg and only one above the knee on the right. Is the Perineal nerve damaged? I have had periods of severe lower and upper muscle weakness. My past EMGs and NCVs were very painful with lots of movement during shocks. This time, I felt nothing until NCV over the right knee as I tensed the muscle during shock. This all started with SXs and after viral/bacterial infection. Just wanted to know your thoughts.
My toes did not even move but the old neurologist just said okay to the aid who put thing on leg. Took less than 10 minutes to do nerve and needle emg. He was very short with me and said was normal. Only put needle in 2 places. I knew i should have just canceled at this particular hospital.
I don't think this procedure is transparent enough for the patient. I had a Dr who declared everything normal too only to find results and observe myself otherwise. He noted an abnormality as a 'common Variant' he also didn't include the muap on the emg and it was very quiet in my feet. its important to understand to xplain symptoms, not prematurely or casually dismiss
How would the tests be performed when the peroneal nerve branches out at the piriformis muscle" which is associated with high degree of compression of common peroneal nerve and piriformis syndrome"?
This is an EMG? The EMG nerve conduction test I had involved a needle and my doctor poking it down my leg... and it didn't even show anything when I definitely do have foot drop, so that shows how unreliable it can be when done manually with the needle like my doctor did. This test looks so much better! What is this called??
what you had was the nerve conduction velocity test (NCV) which tests nerve response. This video is of an EMG, which tests the muscle's response to stimulated nerves. Both these tests are usually done hand-in-hand to tell whether the problems are muscular or nerve related.
