NDT 2485 Lab for Nerve Conduction Studies
This lab focuses on practical skills for performing nerve conduction studies, including proper use of equipment, accurate placement of stimulation sites, and identification of common sources of error. Students will analyze waveforms, explore the anatomy of entrapment sites, and interpret normal and abnormal nerve conduction study findings. Case presentations will enhance understanding of pathology and clinical applications.
