Treatment for the conditions described in this material is highly dependent on the individual circumstances.

It has been more than 10 years since the second edition of Electromyography in Clinical Practice was published. During this interval, there have been significant advances in the field of neuromuscular medicine. New themes have emerged, new methods and technologies have been adopted, and old ideas have fallen by the wayside. Also, neuromuscular medicine completed the process of formally accrediting fellowship training programs by the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education and developed, in 2008, its own subspecialty board under the auspices of the American Board of Medical Specialties.
With the third edition of this book, I have kept the essential backbone of the book the same as in previous editions. The main themes of the book remain to present and discuss real-life neuromuscular cases that I encountered in my clinical practice over the past 35 years. Part I contains foundational chapters that explain simply the concepts of electromyography that are core to the understanding of the discipline. This section was added to the second edition for the beginner who may not be familiar with the techniques, terminology, and basic concepts of clinical electromyography. Subsequent chapters then built upon those foundations. Part II contains cases with discussions that explore focal disorders affecting the lower and upper extremities. Part III discusses cases with generalized neuromuscular disorders.
The third edition is slightly longer than the second edition, published in 2007. The new chapters are more extensive and focus as much as possible on basic concepts and principles. All the old chapters and cases were overhauled, most of them significantly restructured, updated, and extended. There are many new sections within the updated chapters and cases. I have added and replaced many of the tables, diagrams, and figures and updated all the references. In this edition, I changed the organization of the case discussion and used a query format as a heading for each of the subtitles.
Educators who have previously taught from this book should find the revised third edition coherent and comprehensive. The text provides basic-science information that is critical to the understanding of pathophysiology but also focuses directly on crucial aspects of clinical practice. Areas of emphasis include applied anatomy and physiology, the approach to the patient, clinical features and differential diagnosis, and state-of-the-art electrodiagnostic findings.
To gain the most benefit, my suggestions on approaching the book are as follows: Each case should be read without knowledge of the diagnosis. The history and examination should be read first, followed by analysis of the data of the nerve conduction studies and needle EMG findings, both shown in tabular forms. The reader should then make his or her own final diagnosis/differential diagnosis and answer the questions that are intended to test his or her understanding of the case. Not all the answers to the questions are easy or obvious, and some are specifically designed to challenge. This will encourage the subsequent discussion of the disorder pertinent to each case. I wrote the interpretation of nerve conduction and needle EMG data in a very simple and practical manner, mimicking bedside daily discussions in the electromyography laboratory.
Electromyography in Clinical Practice is a single-author text designed to be used by trainees as well as medical practitioners, nurses, and allied health professionals involved in patient care. The text is presented in a way that should make it accessible to anyone, independent of prior knowledge in clinical electromyography. It is suitable as a primer for residency and fellowship training and as an introductory textbook for those pursuing a career in neuromuscular medicine. The book is helpful for students of clinical electromyography preparing to take a board examination or recertification including in the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, neuromuscular medicine, clinical neurophysiology, or electrodiagnostic medicine.

I have been delighted with the enthusiastic reception given by physicians to the first edition of this book since its publication 10 years ago (1997). The aim of the book was to provide case-based learning of the most commonly encountered neuromuscular disorders in the EMG laboratory. The second edition maintains the main mission of reducing the gap between theory and practice in the field of electrodiagnostic medicine. In this edition, a new section (Part I) was added pertaining to the fundamentals of EMG. This section serves as an orientation and a quick guide to the readers who are not familiar with the techniques, terminology, and basic concepts. It is divided into four chapters: describes the findings in various neuromuscular diseases. Part II contains all the cases. Though most cases were unchanged from the first edition, a few new ones were added and many were enriched with new and improved waveforms, tables, and updated references. The discussions are longer in this edition and include new advances in the field, such as the increased use of comparison internal nerve conduction studies in the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome, inching techniques in the diagnosis of ulnar nerve lesions, and quantitative motor unit analysis in the diagnosis of myopathy and neurogenic disorders.
