Results of electroneuromyography (ENMG) are best used for which of the following purposes?

B) Diagnosing impairments that lead to peripheral neuropathies
C) Indentifying the actual cause of a nerve or muscle impairment
D) Diagnosing anatomical anomalies that may compress a nerve

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

ENMG results are best used for identifying the location of a neuromuscular impairment, as they measure the electrical activity of nerves and muscles, and can pinpoint where the dysfunction is occurring. While ENMG can also aid in the diagnosis of impairments that lead to peripheral neuropathies (B) and in identifying anatomical anomalies that may compress a nerve (D), these are secondary purposes to identifying the location of the impairment. ENMG is not always able to identify the actual cause of a nerve or muscle impairment (C), as this requires additional testing and evaluation.
