AANEM Glossary of Terms in Neuromuscular and Electrodiagnostic Medicine AANEM Glossary of Terms in Neuromuscular and Electrodiagnostic Medicine Compiled by the AANEM Nomenclature Committee Third Edition © AANEM 2015 Muscle & Nerve Supplement 2015 S1 Foreword The field of neuromuscular and electrodiagnostic medicine requires a universal language to communicate effectively. This glossary is the cumulative effort of many individuals over the past several decades. With added knowledge gained through research and innovation, the need to update the extensive list will continue to occur periodically. The original glossary was produced in 1980 with updates in 1987 and 2001. Since the last glossary, the American Association of Electrodiagnostic Medicine (AAEM) has changed its name to the American Association of Neuromuscular and Electrodiagnostic Medicine (AANEM). Electrodiagnostic testing of muscle and nerve function has been enhanced by the addition of neuromuscular ultrasound imaging. Expanding research in this area has prompted the introduction of basic terms regarding ultrasound technology to this glossary. The number of articles with ultrasound in the title in Muscle and Nerve online was only 3 articles in the first six months of 2003 and expanded to 24 articles in a similar timeframe in 2013. Over 50 new terms have been added regarding ultrasound to this glossary with 7 original ultrasound images for illustration. The International Anatomical Terminology text entitled Terminologia Anatomica in 1998 introduced new anatomy terms that are gradually making their way into usage. Examples include the peroneal nerve also known as the fibular nerve and the peroneus brevis and longus muscles also known as the fibularis brevis and longus muscles. The fibular nerve is now added to this glossary. There were only a few terms deleted. The goal of providing educational outreach will be enhanced by adding the glossary to the AANEM website, (www.aanem.org). The 2012-2013 AANEM Professional Practice Committee members who served as the Nomenclature Committee responsible for updating the glossary are acknowledged here: Mary K. Kneiser, MD, Chair Andrea J. Boon, MD Andrew David Brown, MD Lisa D. Hobson-Webb, MD Benn E. Smith, MD William J. Litchy, MD Yuebing Li, MD, PhD Michael Lenihan, MD V. Brandon Thompson, MD Lisa D. Hobson-Webb, MD and Andrea J. Boon, MD provided ultrasound terms and illustrations to introduce basic concepts in neuromuscular ultrasound imaging. A picture is worth a thousand words, especially for a glossary. Francis O. Walker, MD and Michael S. Cartwright, MD, MS provided technical expertise with an additional review of the newly added neuromuscular ultrasound terms. John C. Kincaid, MD provided a final review of the updates to electrodiagnostic medicine terms. Elizabeth A. Conlin, BSEE, ME provided technical support. Thank you to our families for their support allowing the committee members to spend so much time and so many days, nights, and weekends making sure this task was completed.

  • Research on Light and Sound
    Research on light and sound Welcome! I’ve spent the last five years reading all the available research on mind machines – and now I’ve pulled together the most accessible of this information as a way to encourage you to try this technology yourself. Mind machines are referred to in these reports in a number of ways: • BWS (Brainwave Synchronisers) • LS (light and sound devices) • AVS (audio visual stimulation) • Photic stimulation All refer to the same technology which is built into our range of mind machines. All our mind machines can generate all the frequencies mentioned in these reports. I’ve condensed some of the reports for readability – and because some of the data is repeated. For example I’ve taken out three paragraphs from the extract from Megabrain Power as the original full reports are included here. I’ve had the very good fortune to spend time with many of the people mentioned in these pages: Robert Austin, Tom Budzynski, Michael Hutchison, Julian Isaacs, Harold Russell and David Siever – all thorough and committed researchers at the cutting edge of peak performance technology. Have a great read. You don’t need to understand it all. I just hope you read enough to see for yourself that mind machines really do work, and you’re encouraged to try a unit in your own home, using our 100% money back satisfaction guarantee.

Work on this review was partially supported by 13 DFG grant TI-239/16-1. 14 15 Abstract 16 We discuss a new framework for understanding the structure of motor control. Our approach 17 integrates existing models of motor control with the reality of hierarchical cortical processing and the 18 parallel segregated loops that characterize cortical-subcortical connections. We also incorporate the recent 19 claim that cortex functions via predictive representation and optimal information utilization. Our 20 framework assumes each cortical area engaged in motor control generates a predictive model of a different 21 aspect of motor behavior. In maintaining these predictive models, each area interacts with a different part 22 of the cerebellum and basal ganglia. These subcortical areas are thus engaged in domain appropriate 23 system identification and optimization. This refocuses the question of division of function among different 24 cortical areas.

The diagnosis is based on clinical grounds supported by electrodi- agnostic study. We report a case of young male with two months’ history of body ache, rippling, movements over calves and other body parts, and occasional cramps. His metabolic workup was suggestive of impaired fasting glucose, radio- logic work up (chest X-ray and ultrasound abdomen) was normal, and electrodiagnostic study was significant for fascicu- lation and myokymic discharges. He was started on pregablin and analgesics. To the best of our knowledge this is report first of cramp fasciculation syndrome from Pakistan.

  • Scalp Eczema Factsheet the Scalp Is an Area of the Body That Can Be Affected by Several Types of Eczema
    12 Scalp eczema factsheet The scalp is an area of the body that can be affected by several types of eczema. The scalp may be dry, itchy and scaly in a chronic phase and inflamed (red), weepy and painful in an acute (eczema flare) phase. Aside from eczema, there are a number of reasons why the scalp can become dry and itchy (e.g. psoriasis, fungal infection, ringworm, head lice etc.), so it is wise to get a firm diagnosis if there is uncertainty. Types of eczema • Hair clips and headgear – especially those containing that affect the scalp rubber or nickel.

  • Calf Stretching and Strengthening Exercises
    Julie Dass Injury Clinic 108 Milton Road Phone: 01234349464 Clapham Email: [email protected] Bedford MK416as Exercise plan: Patient: Date: Calf Stretches and Strengthening Mrs Julie Dass 31st Mar 2017 Exercises Eccentric calf strengthening exercise Stand with your toes on the edge of a step or a box. Hold onto something stable for support if required. We will assume the leg you are trying to strengthen is your left leg (the injured side). Lift your left leg off the step, and go onto your toes on your right leg. Now place your left foot beside the right, and place all your weight on your left leg. Drop your heels downwards below the level of the step. Use your right leg (non-injured leg) to lift yourself back to the start position. Make sure you keep your leg straight during the exercise. This exercise can help strengthen the calf muscle and may be useful for treating Achilles tendinopathy. Full squat single leg Stand on one leg, and bend your knee to the full squat (90 degrees) position. Make sure when you squat you keep the middle of your knee cap in line with the middle toes of your foot. Do not let your knee drift off to one side. Also keep your hips and pelvis level as you squat, so you go down in a straight line. Be careful not to slump forwards as you squat, maintain good posture. Always keep your foot flat on the ground, do not let your heel raise up. Video: http://youtu.be/afJNrDNonAc Full wall squat Open your legs slightly wider than shoulder width, stand with your back resting against a wall, and bend your knees to the full squat position (90 degrees).
