Electrodiagnosis in the Patient with Metabolic Syndrome : Adding Value to Patient Care - 05/10/18
Résumé |
Patients with metabolic syndrome are at increased risk of peripheral neuropathy; entrapment neuropathies, such as carpal tunnel syndrome; and spine disease that can lead to radiculopathy or spinal stenosis. Electrodiagnostic studies are a valuable part of patient care in this population. They can confirm suspected diagnoses, uncover additional conditions, and lead to the diagnosis of other causes of neuropathy that require treatment. By assessing the severity of neuropathy, patients at high risk for falls, functional decline, and foot ulcers are identified to guide prevention, treatment, and patient education.
