Nerve conduction study.An NCS detects damage to nerves the way an EMG tests muscle function. During the test, the technician puts electrode patches on your skin over the nerve that may be causing your symptoms. A stimulating electrode sends a mild electrical impulse to the nerve. The other el...
The test can confirm normal function or estimate the degree of nerve damage.Figure 1. Each spinal nerve is responsible for sensory and motor control of specific areas of the body — creating a dermatome map. When nerve roots are compressed, the electrical impulses to the muscle served by that...
Insight NCS provides easy access to side-by-side comparisons of patients’ new results and previous tests conducted — even across different test types and results from previous visits Terminal Latency Index (TLI) and Residual Latency (RL) calculations to improve carpal tunnel evaluation.
