When Kimura's first edition was released, it was immediately hailed as a classic. Intended as a handy, comprehensive reference for clinicians conducting electrodiagnostic tests, the second edition includes a number of chapters entirely rewritten to reflect rapid medical and technological advancements. The text has been substantially revised and is now augmented by 1,200 new citations. Topics include relevant anatomy and physiology, basic instrumentation, basic principles of nerve conduction studies, a step-by-step guide to studying individual nerves, and common technical problems and errors associated with electrodiagnosis.

Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"This marvelously well written book is very easy to read. It contains more than 1200 additional up-to-date references, excellent diagrams, illustrations, and many useful tables. This book obviously is the definitive text in the field of electromyography and should remain for some time to come." -Electroencephalography and Clinical Neurophysiology, 1990, 76: 90-94
"Dr. Kimura's book is the most comprehensive in electrodiagnosis. I have routinely encouraged all of our fellows to read it from cover to cover. I have frequently used it as a reference and recommend it to all electromyographers and clinicians interested in neurophysiology and neuromuscular disorders." - Neurology, May 1990, 40: 869

5.0 out of 5 stars
essential for EMG training,
By A Customer
This review is from: Electrodiagnosis in Diseases of Nerve and Muscle: Principles and Practice (Hardcover)
For the average student of electromyography, this is the book to own. It's far more complete than Johnson's text, and well worth the extra cost.
