What misused term bothers YOU the MOST in electrodiagnosis?
As the EMG Talk brothers (Spike and Wave) are preparing their annual EMG Talk show, we want to know what term you see or hear commonly in electrodiagnosis that just irritates you the most.
For one of us, it’s "peroneal nerve". Everyone knows, or should know, that it’s now called fibular nerve – that’s the nerve the courses around the peroneal head to supply the dorsiflexors and evertors of the foot!
For the other of us, it’s "chronic". The misuse, or maybe more correctly the misunderstanding, of the word chronic is acutely chronic and it is chronically used as an obfuscating description in EMG reports.
Let us know what term gets your blood boiling and we may discuss it at EMG Talk in Phoenix.

I enjoy participating in the Ãå±±½ûµØ 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.
