Often coupled with the study of somatosensory evoked potentials, this examination assesses the functioning of the central pyramidal motor pathway.
Spinal cord compression
Spasticity
Unexplained motor deficit
Motor neurone diseases
The study of motor evoked potentials further enhances an already comprehensive technical platform:
Limb EMG
Phrenic nerve conduction study
Facial EMG – Blink reflex
Repetitive nerve stimulation ENMG
Sudoscan
Somatosensory evoked potentials study
The practical details of this examination will be outlined in a forthcoming article.
