title: Peripheral nerve and muscle.
abstract: This review of the past year's literature on neurophysiology of muscles and peripheral nerves emphasizes areas with direct clinical interest. The subject is diversified but will be discussed under the following major headings: nerve conduction studies, electromyography, magnetic motor evoked potentials, quantitative sensory testing, assessment of peripheral pain fibers, and autonomic function assessment.
