NEUROPHYSIOLOGYClinical Neurophysiology involves the measurement and assessment of function of the central nervous system, peripheral nervous system and skeletal muscle for the purpose of diagnosing and treating neurological disorders. Clinical neurophysiological procedures commonly used in diagnosing and treating neurological disorders include EEG, EMG, evoked potentials, epilepsy monitoring and movement monitoring (including electronystagmography. EEG, EMG, and evoked potentials directly measure spontaneous or evoked electrical or magnetic fields generated by the nervous system or muscle. In contrast, respiratory effort, airflow, oxygen saturation, blood pressure, body motion, secretion, and behavioral monitoring are measured using chemical and mechanical techniques. Electrical, magnetic, mechanical and chemical based tests are used in varying combinations in clinical neurophysiology for epilepsy monitoring and movement analysis.
