About
Recording of Neurosoft webinar "EMG&EP: Expert Techniques".
Speaker: Eugeniy Gulaev, Neurosoft medical consultant.
Somatosensory evoked potentials (SSEPs) are brain and spinal cord responses elicited by sensory stimuli. Most of the clinically used SSEPs are elicited by electrical stimulation to the peripheral nerve, although more natural stimuli such as pain or touch sensation can yield SSEPs. The commonly used sites of stimulation are the median nerve at the wrist and posterior tibial nerve at the ankle. SSEPs consist of a series of positive–negative potentials as the impulse travels along the somatosensory pathway. Knowing the anatomical origins of various SSEP components assists in the localization of lesions along the somatosensory pathway. All EMG and EP systems manufactured by Neurosoft are supplied with the state-of-art Neuro-MEP.NET software for NCS, EMG, and EP studies.
