Abstract:
Disorders of the brachial and lumbosacral plexus are complex and may occur as a consequence of trauma, compression, inflammatory disorders, malignant infiltration, or delayed effects of radiation therapy. An understanding of plexus anatomy and surrounding structures will allow the electromyographer to facilitate an efficient and comprehensive assessment of the plexus. A careful and thorough electrodiagnostic assessment allows for localization within the plexus and may provide important information about underlying pathology and prognosis.
