what do texts say about cervical paraspinals
Hi all,
A med student is writing a review with me on how text books describe cervical paraspinal EMG. The problem is that their med school and my solo practice don't have all the texts or the most recent versions. If anyone has any of the following (most recent edition) could you email me andyhaig@umich.edu with either a photocopy or answers to these questions? (Yeah, so far most books don't get specific, I know. )
Do they mention cervical paraspinal anatomy? what do they say?
do they mention a technique? what technique if any?
do they have a scoring system? what is it? are there norms?
What utility do they claim for cervical paraspinal EMG?
Missing most recent versions of these books:
Fishman
Pease
EMG Pearls
Binnie
Misulis
Bertorini
Dumitru
Kimura
Thanks! Andy

I enjoy participating in the AANEM Connect Forum for a number of reasons. There are very fundamental questions posed on a frequent basis that cause me to pause and ask myself, ‘Why didn’t I think of that?’ Also, I continue to learn new things when others contribute their thoughts and experiences. Connect is an excellent opportunity for members to interact and to address any topic, including those that may not be discussed at an annual meeting or journal article.
