[Electrophysiological investigation of polyneuropathies].
Needle electromyography, nerve conduction velocity measurement and recording of T, H or F waves, are the most commonly used methods to investigate patients with polyneuropathies. The grade, distribution, and functional type of the lesions are to be determined. A classification is proposed according to acute or chronic character of the neuropathy course and to prevailing signs of demyelination or axonal degeneration.
