  1. Lab study in physical medicine and rehabilitation 台北榮總復健醫學部 R4 程遠揚

  2. Important Lab studies in physical medicine and rehabilitation • Nerve conduction study and electromyography • Urodynamic study • Cardiopulmonary exercise testing

  3. Nerve Conduction study • Tools: Stimulator, grounding electrode, reference electrode, recording electrode • Note the amplitude, duration, area, distal latency, and conduction velocity in each study

  4. Nerve conduction study • Amplitude: direct correlate to the axon fiber remained. Other reasons of amplitude drop includes: myopathy, neuromuscular junction disease, conduction block, or disuse atrophy • Conduction velocity: correlate to the integrity of nerve myelin. CMAP velocity is calculated by both distal and proximal stimulation. SNAP velocity is calculated directly by distal stimulation.

  5. Electromyography • Resting: observe if spontaneous activity including positive sharp wave or fibrillation presents • Minimal contraction: Observe each MUAP’s morphology, amplitude, and duration. • Assess the recruitment pattern

  6. Purpose for NCS/EMG • Determine the type of neuromuscular disease • Determine the lesion level • Determine the timing of the lesion • Determine the severity of the lesion

  7. Urodynamic study • Cystometry • Sphincter electromyography • Uroflometry • Urethral pressure profile

  8. Urodynamic study

  9. Purpose for urodynamic study • Evaluation the type of neurogenic bladder after CNS injuryUninhibited bladderSpastic bladderFlaccid bladder • Determine the severity of stress urinary incontinence • Determine the presence and severity of benign prostate hyperplasia

  10. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing • Evaluate the change of blood pressure, heart rate, and ventilation during graded exercise testing with increasing intensity • Determine the anaerobic threshold by plotting of exercise testing • Observe the peak exercise response. Determine the maximum oxygen consumption of the patient.

  11. V-slope method for anaerobic threshold

  12. Purposes for cardiopulmonary exercise testing • For reference of exercise program prescription • To evaluate the severity of cardiovascular disease and make suggestion for the intensity of activity of daily life or the necessity for medication modification or operation • To evaluate responses to cardiopulmonary rehabilitation program
