Value Of Electrophysiological Determination To Zhe Diagnosis Of Rooted Cervical Spondylosis

Objective: Our aim was to verify the utility of electrophysiological determination in zhe diagnosis of the rooted cervical spondylosis. Methods: sixty patients underwent the examinations including regular electromyography (ECG) , nerve conduction velocity of the peripheral nerves, and F-wave conduction velocity of the ulnar nerve. Results: The abnormal percentages of the nerve conduct- ion were ranged from 10.1% to 32.2% in the nerve examined. The EMG showed patho- logical lesions in 53 patients (88.03%) , and F-wave conduction velocity slow in patie- nts with the seventh or eighth cervical radiculopathy(52.2%). Conclusion: electromy-ography, nerve conduction and F-wave determinations apper to be useful methods in the assessment of injure nerve root . They have the clinical value on confirming the diaglosis of cervical radiculopathy.
