    Area of Science:

    • Clinical Neurophysiology
    • Neurology

    Background:

    • Polyneuropathies require accurate diagnostic methods.
    • Clinical neurophysiology offers essential tools for diagnosis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To survey clinical neurophysiological methods for diagnosing polyneuropathies.
    • To discuss the applicability of these methods across different patient ages.

    Main Methods:

    • Electromyography (EMG) in all four extremities.
    • Single-fibre EMG for fibre density determination when EMG is equivocal.
    • Measurement of motor and sensory nerve conduction velocities.
    • Microneurography and psychophysical methods for sensory fibre function.

    Main Results:
