Disclosure PolicyBoston University School of Medicine asks all individuals involved in the development and presentation of Continuing Medical Education (CME) activities to disclose all relationships with commercial interests. This information is disclosed to CME activity participants. Boston University School of Medicine has procedures to resolve any apparent conflicts of interest. In addition, faculty members are asked to disclose when any unapproved use of pharmaceuticals and devices is being discussed.

AccreditationBoston University School of Medicine is accredited by the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education to provide continuing medical education for physicians.

Boston University School of Medicine designates this live activity for a maximum of 23.50 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.

Educational Grants This activity is supported by unrestricted educational grants from*:

· Allergan · Baxter Healthcare Corp. · Coram Specialty Infusion Services · Ipsen Biopharmaceuticals · Terumo BCT

Exhibits This activity is supported by exhibits from*:

· Athena Diagnostics · Cadwell Laboratories, Inc. · Coram Specialty Infusion Services · Terumo BCT

OverviewThis two-and-a-half day course will focus on the practical approach to electromyography in the diagnosis and management of neuromuscular disorders. Lectures will cover the clinical and neurophysiologic assessments of compression neuropathies, radiculopathies, plexopathies, various types of generalized neuropathies, neuromuscular junction disorders, myopathies, as well as the fundamentals of nerve conduction studies and needle electromyography. There will be live demonstrations to illustrate nerve conduction techniques and muscle identification for needle electromyography. Emphasis will be placed on the latest treatment options for patients with various types of peripheral neuropathies.

Lecturers include five directors of Electromyography Laboratory/ Clinical Neurophysiology/ Neuromuscular Medicine/ Peripheral Neuropathy Center from prestigious medical centers (Boston University, Columbia University, University of Connecticut, University of Massachusetts, and New York University).

A special two-hour session on the clinical uses of botulinum toxin in the treatment of spasticity, cervical dystonia, and other movement disorders will be presented. Participants will receive an update on the assessment and treatment of patients with neuromuscular disorders so that they may enhance their clinical practices.

This course will help physicians understand the technical aspects of EMG, as well as the clinical uses and limitations of the procedure. The presentation of each topic will be both simple and practical. It will appeal to clinicians who order and read EMG reports and to those interested in performing EMG.

Target AudienceNeurologists, physiatrists, neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons, internists, peripheral nerve surgeons, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and electromyography technologists who are interested in the field of electromyography and neuromuscular disorders.

Educational ObjectivesAt the conclusion of this activity, the participant will be able to:

1. State the basic tenets of clinical and neurophysiologic diagnosis.2. List the clinical and neurophysiologic aspects of common neuromuscular disorders.3. Describe the technical aspects as well as potential pitfalls of nerve conduction studies and needle

electromyography. 4. Review the current diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in polyneuropathy, including the use of

intravenous immunoglobulins and plasma exchange.5. Discuss the clinical uses of botulinum toxin. 6. Apply the knowledge reviewed above to the discussion of selected clinical cases.

Core CompetenciesThis activity has been developed with consideration given to the American Board of Medical Specialties Six Core Competencies. This activity will increase your competency in the areas of:

• Patient Care• Medical Knowledge
