Competency information
Details
Identify the cause(s) of errors and recognise the non-pathological effects on the recording on nerve conduction studies and evoked potentials and their elimination
Considerations
- Identification, elimination and minimisation of physiological and non- physiological artefacts
Relevant learning outcomes
| # | Outcome |
|---|---|
| # 1 | Outcome Plan, prepare and perform nerve conduction studies obtaining recordings from the upper and lower limbs in adult and/or paediatric patients referred for investigation of disorders of the peripheral nervous system, eg carpal tunnel syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, etc |
| # 2 | Outcome Assist in electromyography (EMG) studies and identify the electropotentials associated with electromyography |
| # 3 | Outcome Plan, prepare and perform evoked potential studies (visual, auditory and somatosensory) and measure visual acuity and hearing and sensory threshold |
