2 paź 2023 · Critical relevance statement This article describes the common sites of lower limb nerve entrapments and their imaging features. It equips radiologists with the knowledge needed to approach the assessment of entrapment neuropathies, which are a critically important cause of pain and functional impairment. Key points.
27 sie 2020 · Imaging studies showed deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in his right leg, which was further treated with anticoagulants. Symptoms, however, remained after the regression of DVT. Nerve conduction study revealed femoral neuropathy, which may have been caused by ECMO cannula compression and tissue swelling.
1 lis 1998 · Sensory nerve conduction studies (NCS) are more sensitive to many abnormalities in the peripheral nervous system than the motor NCS responses. This article provides a thorough review of sensory nerve conduction studies of the lower extremity, with special emphasis on electrodiagnostic issues.
13 gru 2017 · Electromyography (EMG) will show conduction slowing or even conduction block, depending on the injury. 5 For incomplete nerve injuries, the amplitude of the compound action potential is reduced because some neurons are not functioning. Once profound neuron loss occurs, denervation changes in the muscle appear on EMG.
12 paź 2021 · Lower extremity oedema had the highest prevalence (30%) and ulceration the lowest prevalence. Women had a higher burden of chronic venous disease compared with men, with disease shifting toward greater severity with advancing age.
20 kwi 2018 · Lower extremity peripheral artery disease (PAD) is associated with considerable morbidity, diminished quality of life, and mortality; reducing the risk of cardiovascular events is the...
People with severe PAD have poorer peroneal nerve conduction velocity compared to people with mild PAD or no PAD. The degree of ischemia-related pathophysiologic changes in lower extremity muscles and peripheral nerves of people with PAD are associated with the degree of functional impairment.
