Sample Questions

Question 1
During a median motor NCS, you stimulate at the wrist and record from APB. The distal motor latency (DML) is 5.2 ms (reference <4.4 ms), with normal amplitude. Stimulation above the elbow gives a normal conduction velocity in the forearm segment and normal amplitude. What is the most likely interpretation?
Generalized demyelinating polyneuropathy
Focal demyelination of the median nerve across the carpal tunnel (consistent with median neuropathy at the wrist / CTS)
Axonal loss in the median nerve
Normal study
Question 2
On needle EMG of the abductor pollicis brevis (APB), you observe positive sharp waves and fibrillation potentials at rest, decreased recruitment, and long-duration polyphasic motor unit action potentials (MUAPs) with high amplitude. Which is the most likely underlying process?
Acute myopathy
Chronic neurogenic process with active denervation and reinnervation
Normal study
Acute neuromuscular junction disorder
Question 3
Which is the most accurate description of how to differentiate a C7 radiculopathy from a brachial plexopathy involving the middle trunk on needle EMG?
Both produce identical findings; localization is impossible
Paraspinal muscle abnormalities (multifidus) localize to the root level; plexopathy typically spares paraspinals
Plexopathy involves paraspinal muscles consistently
Radiculopathy never causes muscle abnormalities
Question 4
A patient presents with bilateral foot drop, areflexia, and rapidly progressive weakness 2 weeks after a GI infection. NCS show prolonged F-wave latencies and conduction block in multiple nerves. What is the most likely diagnosis?
Diabetic peripheral neuropathy
Guillain-Barre syndrome (acute inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy)
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
Myasthenia gravis
Question 5
Which best describes appropriate use of the H-reflex?
Assesses motor cortex function
Tests the S1 reflex arc by recording from the gastrocnemius/soleus after stimulation of the tibial nerve; useful in evaluating S1 radiculopathy
Measures only sympathetic skin response
Replaces needle EMG
