ELECTROMYOGRAPHY REPORT REFERRED BY: C, DO. SUMMARY: The sural sensory response on the right is minimally prolonged. Its conduction velocity is normal. The median sensory amplitude recorded from the right index finger is minimally reduced. Remaining conduction perimeters are normal. Median sensory and motor conduction velocities are normal. Perineal, tibial, and ulnar conduction velocities are normal. NEEDLE EXAMINATION: Normal. IMPRESSION: This study is minimally abnormal due to minimal changes in the sural and median nerves, as described above. At the median abnormality is probably secondary to local trauma, since other median sensory, and palmar sensory responses are normal. This leaves the sural sensory latency, which is 0.1 Msec prolonged as the only abnormality. This could be secondary to a minimal amount of neuropathy, or could be a normal variant. There is no significant neuropathy to account for the patient’s upper or lower extremity weakness. |
ELECTROMYOGRAPHY REPORT Referred by: N. F., MD. This is an Electromyography Report SUMMARY: The sural and superficial perineal sensory responses are absent. The right median, ulnar, and radial sensory responses are normal. The motor responses are normal for the right arm and leg. Sensory and motor conduction velocities are normal. NEEDLE EXAMINATION: Discloses no ongoing fibrillation. Mild reduction in unit recruitment is present in the right tibialis anterior, vastus lateralis, and tibialis posterior. Remaining muscle groups are normal. IMPRESSION: 1. Sensory neuropathy affecting the lower extremity. 2. Evidence of remote motor neuropathy or axonopathy affecting the right lower extremity. No evidence of ongoing denervation is seen in the limb or in the paraspinal muscles. This suggests that it is a chronic process. |
