ULTRA EMG

1. Determine the best tests for common clinical presentations of pain, paresthesias and/or weakness.
   
2. Employ fundamental and advanced techniques in the EMG examination.
   
3. Review the evolving computerization of EMG instrumentation.
   
4. Employ fundamental and advanced techniques in ultrasound examinations of nerve entrapments and common musculoskeletal conditions.
   
5. Evaluate and improve the quality of his/her electrodiagnostic reports.
   
6. Identify and understand the physiology of waveforms associated with electromyographic findings.
