1 Nerve Conduction Studies NCS Nerve conduction studies are an essential part of an EMG examination. The clinical usefulness of NCS in the diagnosis of diffuse and local neuropathies has been thoroughly validated since the 1940 s The findings reflect the functional state of the myelinated motor nerves, the neuromuscular transmission and the muscle fibers. Two motor units
2 Stimulation A nerve is a Chain of Polarized Cells (Myelin Action). Stimulation in one point generates a depolarization A nerve could be depolarized by: Electrical Chock Mechanical Compression Magnetic Field -
3 Stimulation Points Extremities Upper Plexus Axillary Median Elbow Ulnar Wrist Median - Ulnar Palmer Radial Median Wrist Ulnar Above Elbow Ulnar Below Elbow Stimulation Points Extremities Lower Stimulation Points Trunk Head & Crural Higher Erb Point Sciatic Trunk Thoracodorsalis Peroneal Peroneal Sural Tibial Popliteal fossa Posterior Tibial Medium Auricular Posterior Lower Spinal XI Phrenic Erb Point Long Thoracic Crural
4 Current Stimulation Depolarization NERVE + - NERVE + - Current Stimulation Supramaximal Stimuli Min. 3 Times Sensory Threshold ANTIDROMIC ORTHODROMIC Once a nerve is depolarized at some point, a wave of depolarization passes in both directions from that point. Propagation - Refractory Period + - NERVE Propagation by Successive Depolarization followed by Repolarization. Time before Repolarization is called the Refractory Period.

These must be age-related as well. Infants & young children: Quite slow conduction rate. Adults: Amplitudes and conduction rate decrease with age. The most sensitive normal value for a particular NCS is usually obtained by performing the same NCS on the corresponding nerve in the contralateral limb (assuming it is normal). A decrease of more than 50% in amplitude is considered abnormal. NCS Age Nerve Amp. Lat.
