This week we are going to discuss not an injury but a specific test that is performed to diagnose an injury. That test? The nerve conduction velocity test or NCV/EMG. The nerve conduction velocity ...

High glucose variability in children and young adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) strongly predicted slowed nerve conduction velocity, a forerunner of diabetic peripheral neuropathy, in a recent study.

Peripheral nerve impairments in older adults were tied to a higher risk of subsequent dementia, a study of longitudinal data showed. Combined sensory and motor impairments in the lower leg doubled the ...

Hancock County Health System (HCHS) has partnered with the John K. and Luise V. Hanson Foundation to purchase a Nerve Conduction Velocity machine. “Nerve Conduction Velocity (NCV) testing measures how ...
