'Rules of conduct': some practical guidelines for testing motor-nerve conduction.
The testing of nerve conduction using electromyography (EMG) is a frequently used diagnostic method for the identification of various neuropathies. The present article illustrates a variety of conditions on the basis of clinical data, and suggests how one can obtain the best results by observing a few simple rules.
