AB Neurophysiologic  studies  can  play  a  significant  role  in  the  assessment  of  peripheral  nervous  system  disorders  and  suspected  neuromuscular  dysfunction.  Neurophysiologic  evaluation  provides  objective  information  about  the  diagnosis,  localization,  nature,  and  severity  of  the  pathologic  processes  involved.  Information  obtained  about  the  peripheral  neuromuscular  system  can  be  used  to  plan  and  prescribe  a  therapeutic  program.  It  also  provides  information  on  prognosis  and  the  effectiveness  of  a  treatment  program.  This  chapter  reviews  basic  principles  of  electrodiagnostic  studies  and  the  technical  aspects  of  obtaining  biologic  signals  from  study  subjects.
