Electrodiagnostic Assessment of Radiculopathies

This article discusses the electrodiagnostic assessment of radiculopathy. Relevant anatomy initially is reviewed followed by discussion surrounding the approach to nerve conduction studies and needle electrode examination when it comes to radiculopathy evaluation. Pitfalls of the electrodiagnosis versus clinical diagnosis of radiculopathy and the definitions of acute versus chronic, and active versus inactive, are reviewed.
