What are the Diseases used in EMG?

Trappers: The nerves coming out of the medulla spinalis pass through the first channel consisting of bone eyebrows and connective tissues until they reach the hands and feet. As a result of getting stuck in these channels for different reasons, a clinical picture called entrapment neuropathy occurs. In this case, complaints such as pain, sleep, loss of sensation and loss of strength occur in the relevant nerve innervation area. The most common trappers are:
Carpal Tunnel Submission: It occurs as a result of the emergence of the Median nerve in the carpal tunnel, which is localized in the wrist. In patients with nerves on the median nerve side, there are 1,2,3 and 4. It leads to sleepiness and pain in the fingers to relatives. Especially at night, sleeping and waking up with pain reduce the quality of life. In the later stages, it may cause muscle erythematous November weakness. Wrist fixation, anti-inflammatory and vitamin therapies can be used in its treatment. Physical therapy can be performed in patients who have passed the intermediate degree and surgical opera can be performed in severe cases.
Cubital Tunnel Submission: The ulnar nerve exits the middle with its exit in the cubital tunnel. From the elbow to the pinky finger, the pain of sleeping causes relatives. Drug treatment in mild cases can be performed opera in severe and moderate cases.
Friday night paralysis: It is formed by trapping the radial nerve in the humeral spiral groove at the upper part of the arm. This name has been given to people who fall asleep on their arm. Patients have difficulty keeping their fingers straight.
Meralgia paresthetics: It is formed by salting the lateral femoral cutaneous nerve in the inguinal canal. You have his loss and his awakenings on your leg. It works by sitting with a potbelly, it is more common in people who use narrow diameters.
Tarsal Tunnel Transmission: It occurs as a result of the paths to the moon emerging in the tarsal tunnel at the ankle. There are approaches to sleeping pain and burning in the foot. Complaints typically increase with movement, decrease with orientation and worsen at night.
Peroneal Nerve Salinization: It is formed by salinization of the peroneal nerve in the outer side section below the knee. In general, it is seen in those who throw their legs over their legs or sit on places above the knee. The opening of sensation below the knee may be a complete loss of it and a loss in November muscle strength. Patients with loss of strength may have low midfoot when they do not lift their feet up.
Peripheral facial paralysis : the table of facial paralysis is accompanied by changes in taste and operation in some patients with the effect of the facial nerve, depending on viral causes in general, a shift in the functions of raising the eyebrows, closing the eyes and pulling the mouth, coming out in the middle on one side of the face. Cranial MRI and EMG are useful in diagnosis, and EMG tests are useful in monitoring the recovery time.
Radiculopathies: these are clinical conditions that occur as a result of damage to the nerve roots separated from the medulla spinalis for any reason. Most often, the root bases made by the waist and neck are encountered. Less often, in traumas, tumors, infectious diseases, vascular pathologies can also lead to radiculopathy. Depending on the active roots,pain and loss of strength in the arms and legs may occur. The degrees of effect on nerves and muscles are determined by EMG. November 1, 2016. In mild and moderate cases, drug therapy and physical therapy are recommended, and in severe cases, treatment with surgical opera is recommended.
Plexopathies: Nerves coming out of the size and waist regions come together among themselves and a neural network structures are formed. Decapitation is a common cause of Decapitation. Both sensory and motor nerves are located within these network structures. For various reasons, plexopathy tables are formed by the effect of these neural networks. Depending on the place and severity of the activity, it causes a loss of emotion and strength.
Brachial Plexopathies: The affected side is strong with our arm and hand. Congenital causes can be due to many causes, such as trauma, gunshot or precision weapon injuries, radiation treatments, and plexitis. Treatment is generally directed at the underlying cause.
Lumbosacral Plexopathies: medium exits with damage to the neural networks located in the waist and hip area. There are complaints of sleepiness, loss of sensation, loss of strength and pain in both or one of the legs and feet. The most common causes of lumbosacral plexopathies are intra-abdominal bleeding, tumors, iliac artery aneurysms, traumas, plexitis, radiotherapy, diabetes and surgical operations.
Polyneuropathies: The peripheral nerves of polyneuropathies have electrical effects all together and in general due to the same cause. The reason for the effect can occur within a few days or it can develop over months and years. First of all, there are complaints such as burning on the toes and under the feet, sleeping felting, moving up on the feet over time, holding the belly circumference and head in both hands. The most common cause of polyneuropathy is diabetes, except vitamin b12 deficiency, chemotherapy side effect, toxic causes, some genetic and metabolic diseases, paraneoplastic submissions … it can be developed depending on many reasons, such as. Sensory and motor nerves may be affected by its loss, and loss of power may occur in addition to sensory complaints such as burning. In severe cases, walking strength or walking conditions may occur.
Myasthenia Gravis: Special methods such as Single Fiber EMG and repetitive nerve stimulation are used in the definition of this disease, which causes such as eyelid drop, double vision, children’s interpretation, speech and swallowing disorders.
Motor neuron disease ( ALS): the first and second motor neurons, which leads to this disease effectively melt in the muscles, muscle weakness, speech, swallowing disorders, and movement of power. The cause is not known for sure, and 5-10% of patients with familial transition are known. One of the most important triggers in diagnosis is Emg. It recognizes nerves and muscles in four regions of the medulla spinalis by examining them.
What should be considered when coming to EMG?
A slight toughness is recommended during the EMG examination. Down clasp or opening is not suitable for EMG.
Comfortable clothes that can be easily washed or easily put on and taken off are recommended to work comfortably in the areas to be processed.
Metal attachments such as pendants, cubes, wrists are not used.
Skin cream or moisturizing solutions should not be used because the electrical communication of the skin is important in the procedure to be performed.
