The Masterclass by IFCN presentations were created in response to a call from IFCN members societies for more high quality, complimentary, online educational content. The series will provide a new presentation every month from top clinical neurophysiologists around the world, and each will include time for discussion with the lecturer following the presentation.
Providing the best in contemporary clinical neurophysiology education delivered in the most optimal format is the primary educational goal of the IFCN. As such, Masterclass by IFCN will be available complimentary to all registrants.
The Masterclass by IFCN presentation:
Electrophysiological Assessment of Movement Disorders
The lecture will take place on Saturday, April 20, 2024 at 8:00 AM (EDT)
Dr. Robert Chen
While diagnosis of movement disorders is largely based on clinical assessment, electrophysiological studies can assist in the diagnosis in selected cases. The lecture will outline the use of neurophysiological assessment in the diagnosis of different movement disorders including tremor, myoclonus and functional movement disorders using techniques such as multichannel surface EMG, EEG-EMG backaveraging and accelerometry. The participants will gain knowledge on the recording and analysis techniques used, as well as the clinical utility and limitations of these assessments.
