Significance of neurography
• One of the clinically most useful methods inclinical neurophysiology
• Neurography alone can in many cases localizeulnar nerve lesions, carpal tunnel syndromeand peroneal nerve lesions
• In many polyneuropathies neurography alonemay be sufficient
• Techologists can do neurography with surfaceelectrodes

Usefulness of neurography
• Polyneuropathy– pathophysiology– type of nerve (motor/sens/auton)– severity– distribution to some extent
• Local neuropathies– localization– pathophysiology– severity

Distal latency
• conduction time in distal axons• neuromuscular transmission time• time to generate muscle action potentials• if the recording electrode is not over the
end-plate region conduction time fromend-plate to recording electrode

Conduction velocity
• fastest axons• reflects axon diameter• myelin structure
– demyelination– remyelination
• temperature• metabolic factors
CV = segment length / conduction time

Decay =decrease in amplitude or area
• dispersion of conduction velocities– (normal or abnormal)
• conduction block– (abnormal)
decay = 100*(amplitudedistal- amplitudeproximal) / amplitudedistal

Dispersion
dispersion = 100 * (durationproximal- durationdistal) / durationproximal

Changes along the nerve
• Decay (amplitude and area)– % drop compared to distal CMAP
• Temporal dispersion (duration)– % increase compared to disal CMAP

Conduction velocity dispersion
• In motor nerves the dispersion of individualmotor unit potentials ( MUPs) is smallerthan the MUP duration, therefore there is nophase cancellation
• with increased CV dispersion the durationof the M wave increases and phasecancellation may reduce the amplitude
