Coffee Table EMG

Not being a doctor, I don't do clinical EMG, but I do intraoperative EMG all the time, and it's very useful for that as well. This book doesn't offer any technical information about how to do EMG; as the title indicates, it's an atlas, not a handbook, so you have to know how to do the studies. This is a handy reference for the motor points, innervation, basic clinical correlation, test maneuvers and pitfalls for commonly studied muscles.

It's relatively large, maybe not _quite_ coffee table book size, but you actually could use it that way, because it's interesting, and pretty, and folds open and lies flat well. It's not the best size if you want to carry it around with you. Its size and beauty make it an extreme pleasure to use, and the size allows for very large, nice pictures. It's also inexpensive as such things go.

Each muscle and motor point shown has a detailed anatomical drawing of the muscle with skeletal structures and the motor point, as well as a photograph showing the superficial location of the motor point. That's very useful for finding the best spot to record for intraoperative nerve root monitoring and motor evoked potentials.

I wanted to write this review because the other reviewers were so bloody terse, and being doctors, they only talk about its usefulness for clinical EMG and injections. I wanted to give a little more detail, and to point out that it's also useful if you just want to educate yourself, or brush up, on motor neuroanatomy, and for intraoperative EMG, as well as for clinical medicine. I heartily agree with their high ratings.

An excellent reference

I have found this atlas very handy. The pictures included are easy to read in a hurry. The book is also written for easy reading.

atlas of Electromyography

Very useful book, with the use of this book you can do EMG, botox and myobloc injection in hand, forarm and neck muscles very easely. Provides very good pictures of the muscles with their nerve supply and roots/segments. I start to use it in my clinic on patients that needed rare type of EMG testing muscles and it helps alot. This book shows and instruct you to find the muscle that you are looking for, the muscle primary fuction and movement. I highly recommend this book to whom wants to do EMG, botox or myoblock injection.

Excellent EMG localization text

This book is very well organized and is a great resource for residents and those who do electromyography. Detailed pictures show insertion points of both common upper and lower extremity muscles, but also those less common locations including the face and neck. The text explains activations needed to elicit a response as well as possible pitfalls for each location. This is an excellent book written by an excellent clinician.

This visually alluring book is an anatomical guide for students and practitioners of electromyography, including neurologists and rehabilitation specialists. It provides high quality anatomical illustrations of skeletal muscles that include nerve, plexus, and root supply; photographs of each muscle in healthy subjects to enable the practitioner to identify the optimum site of EMG needle insertion; clinical features of the major conditions affecting peripheral nerves; and electordiagnostic strategies for the confirming suspected lesions of the peripheral nervous system.
