Electrodiagnostic Evaluation of Brachial Plexopathies

This activity addresses the electrodiagnostic evaluation of brachial plexopathies and related neuromuscular disorders, with an emphasis on clinical localization, diagnostic confirmation, lesion characterization, prognostic assessment, and awareness of complications. Brachial plexus injuries can result from trauma, compression, ischemia, inflammatory processes, radiation, or malignant neoplasm, yet overlapping symptoms with radiculopathies, mononeuropathies, and generalized neuropathic disorders can complicate diagnosis. A persistent practice gap remains in clinicians’ ability to integrate clinical examination, electrodiagnostic studies, and imaging to accurately localize lesions and guide treatment. This activity is designed to improve diagnostic accuracy, strengthen interpretation of nerve conduction studies, electromyography, and somatosensory evoked potentials, and support patient-centered treatment planning. Participants will gain actionable skills in identifying injury patterns, estimating severity and chronicity, recognizing risks and limitations of testing, and collaborating across specialties to improve outcomes for patients with suspected brachial plexus pathology.
