Nerve conduction studies in infants and children.

R G Miller, N L Kuntz

    Journal of Child Neurology
    |January 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Electrophysiologic evaluation of peripheral nerves is crucial for diagnosing and predicting outcomes in children with neuromuscular disorders. Careful technique is essential to accurately identify and characterize both hereditary and acquired neuropathies.
