Electro Diagnostic Medicine





                                                Electro Diagnostic Medicine
Electro diagnostic medicine is the subspecialty in physical medicine and rehabilitation which uses electrophysiological techniques for treatment and diagnosis for neurologic and neuromuscular systems. These studies are used in suspected diagnostics conformation, Pathological definition, and subclinical disease process identification. These conditions treated include nerve complications, carpal tunnel syndrome, radiculopathy, polyneuropathy, Muscular diseases. Conditions that are diagnosed include ALS, muscle dystrophy, Multiple sclerosis. Some of the common practices include electromyography, Nerve conditioning studies. The main aim of this devises is to show the extent of nerve damage and also heeling status.
This provision of this quality EDM requires autonomy and physiology of peripheral nerves and muscles also extensive medical and scientific evaluation.  Interdisciplinary physics and biology of electrical signals generated by nerves and muscles Muscle pain or crumbling. The most common symptoms which required EMG are Tingling, Muscle weakness, Numbness, Limb pain      

The most commonly used methods of electrograph are electrocardiography (ECG) which is a process of producing graph with voltage vs. time  which gives the electrical activity of the heart using electrodes placed on skin  this changes in the graph indicate cardiac abnormalities and disturbances in blood flow and cardiac rhythms disturbances  
                                                                                            Electroencephalography(EEG) which detect brain disorders and  electrical activates in brain with the help of metal disc attached to scalp it shows wave lines on an EEG recording. It’s done for patients affecting with Brain damage and head injury, Stroke, Sleep disorders, Inflammation of brain (encephalitis), Brain dysfunction also used to detect brain death while in com  Electromyography (EMG) this technique used to detect electrical activates of Skeletal muscles. This consists of a graph which produce electro gram it detects electrical potential produced by Muscle cells which are neurologically activated. This EMG also acts as a research tool for Kinesiology, Disorders of motor nerves also used to control prosthetic devices

Secretion Removal Techniques in People with Spinal Cord Injury through Physiotherapy

Image
Respiratory complications are a leading cause of injury and mortality in people with spinal cord injury (SCI) and are more pronounced in individuals with higher level and complete injuries. A major contributor to respiratory illness in individuals with SCI is secretion retention, particularly among individuals with cervical lesions. Higher levels of SCI result in greater denervation of the ventilatory muscles thereby decreasing both inspiratory capacity and expiratory muscle force and resulting in an impaired cough. The figure shows the innervation of the respiratory muscles. Cervical SCI also denervates sympathetic pathways leading to a state of parasympathetic dominance that may increase mucus production and contribute to airway hyper responsiveness. A diminishing cough combined with mucus hyper secretion can overwhelm mucociliary clearance in people with SCI. The impact of SCI on normal airway clearance can be exemplified by examining the sequence of a cough. After f...

Postural orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS): Needs Rehabilitation Therapy

Image
Postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) is the most common of several kinds of dysautonomia, characterized by dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system showing with signs of orthostatic intolerance with or without related orthostatic hypotension and extreme autonomic excitation. Along with musculoskeletal signs of POTS and its known associations with other clinical entities like Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, POTS constitute an unusual treatment challenge of which the orthopaedic surgeon, Physiatrist and other associated healthcare providers should be aware. Symptoms: Cardiac symptoms: ·          rapid palpitations ·          lightheadedness ·          chest discomfort ·          dyspnea Non-cardiac symptoms: ·          brain fog ·     ...

Why Cancer Rehabilitation is an integral part of the treatment?

Image
Cancer treatment may disturb physical, social, psychological, and work-related abilities. Rehabilitation helps persons to recover these abilities and maintain independence. Many people than ever are suffering with cancer, but the disease and its life-saving treatments often leave survivors with physical, cognitive, and emotional sequelae that need rehabilitation services. Cancer rehabilitation is developing to meet the complex needs of an increasing number of survivors: rehabilitation professionals are working to design interventions that restore the integrity of organ structure and function, remediate functional loss, and allow full involvement in personal roles and activities. Cancer Rehabilitation help in reaching the following goals: ·          Recover physical strength. ·           Increase the ability to care for yourself which reduces the amount of support needed from caregivers. ·   ...
