using word old vs chronic in the report

Dr. Herbison, great teacher in electrodiagnosis and rehabilitation always said there is a difference between old and chronic. He defined chronic as something that is ongoing but has changes of longstanding neurophysiological changes. Old as something that has neurophysiological changes but has no ongoing pathology. I would appreciate other opinions as to how neurophysiologists use the term chronic and if they use the term old any time.
Thanks

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.
