Advanced EMG and Neurography course

Electromyography and nerve conduction studies are an essential part of the neurologist’s every day practice. While most are familiar with the basics of neurophysiologic testing and the interpretation of results, more sophisticated methods such as quantitative EMG and Single Fibre EMG are rarely used in clinical routine.
The goal of this course is to equip you with the knowledge about theses sophisticated neurophysiological techniques and to improve your skills, performance and sensitivity in the diagnostic work-up of neuromuscular disorders.
It is a great pleasure that Professor Erik Stålberg (Uppsala, Sweden) and Professor Björn Falck (Turku, Finland) will be teaching at this “Advanced EMG course” in St.Gallen, where they will share their enormous expertise on EMG and nerve conduction studies with us.
Our aim was to carry on the famous, but meanwhile ceased yearly EMG course from Uppsala and to bring it to St. Gallen.
The course features are a broad spectrum from principles in neurophysiology to the application of more specific techniques like Single Fibre EMG using concentric needle electrodes. Quantitative EMG, motor number estimation techniques (MUNIX), non-standard neurographies and the diagnostic approach in specific neuromuscular disorders are some further topics.
Several “hands-on”-sessions will help you to put theory directly into practice.
As the number of participants is limited, registration is on a “first come – first serve” basis. The target audience are neurologists who have already broad experience in routine neurophysiological techniques.
