Diagnosing Nerve Damage with EMG [Example 2] | UE, Distal to Elbow

The video tutorial explores electromyography to identify nerve damage locations, focusing on whether the damage is proximal or distal to the elbow. It discusses nerve root involvement, particularly the C8 and T1 nerve roots, and examines the ulnar nerve's role in muscle impairments. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of understanding the brachial plexus and its terminal branches to diagnose nerve damage accurately. It concludes with a discussion on common sites for ulnar nerve damage, such as the cubital tunnel, and provides a method for pictorially identifying impairments.
