Learn EMG: An Interactive Quiz Approach to Electrodiagnostic Interpretation

Learn EMG teaches the basic concepts and interpretation of electrodiagnostic findings in patients with a variety of neuromuscular conditions. Using a quiz approach with clinical vignettes to make learning both fun and challenging, this unique app teaches users to recognize basic and complex features of individual NCS and needle EMG waveforms and to accurately interpret combinations of findings in the context of clinical vignettes.

• Learn basic concepts and recognition of a wide variety of nerve conduction study and needle EMG waveform abnormalities
• Review common and uncommon findings that are encountered in clinical practice
• Concise explanations and discussions of the findings to help understand the concepts and achieve more accurate interpretation of EMG
• 200 examples of normal and abnormal findings, with more than 400 images and 90 videos
• Track progress through mastery of each subject and question
• Quiz yourselfoption to focus on particular subjects, or on questions previously answered incorrectly
• Tag questions of particular interest and easily return to them later
• Search to quickly find specific topics

The program is organized into 10 topics, covering general NCS and needle EMG findings and common clinical problems. Each set is devoted to a particular theme and contains 20 multiple-choice questions framed by case vignettes, waveforms, audio/video clips, and other information to help the user select the correct answer. Audio discussions related to the questions and answers are presented within each case to highlight key features and concisely teach important concepts related to the findings.

Topics include basic NCS waveforms and variants, basic needle EMG waveforms (spontaneous activity and motor unit potentials), technical issues, upper extremity, lower extremity, peripheral neuropathies, diffuse neuromuscular disorders, cranial nerve disorders, and unusual disorders.
