Virtual Didactic- Radiculopathy or Plexopathy Led by Leslie Rydberg, MD

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Leslie Ryberg from Northwestern University discusses electrodiagnostic considerations in radiculopathy. She begins by explaining the goals of the virtual didactics, including augmenting ongoing curricula, supporting residents affected by the pandemic, and developing digital learning resources. She then discusses housekeeping rules for the virtual session, such as muting audio and video and asking questions. Dr. Ryberg shares her background and areas of interest before delving into the topic of electrodiagnostics. She explains the anatomy relevant to radiculopathy and how it applies to testing. She discusses motor and sensory studies and their interpretation, as well as the limitations of electrodiagnostic testing for radiculopathy. Dr. Ryberg goes through several case examples to illustrate key points, including the importance of paraspinal testing and the differentiation between different levels of radiculopathy. She also explains the timing of electrodiagnostic changes and when to perform testing. In conclusion, Dr. Ryberg emphasizes the importance of electrodiagnostic testing in the assessment of radiculopathy and provides helpful take-home points.
