Additional Accessibility Information
-
All (or substantially all) textual matter is arranged in a single logical reading order (including text that is visually presented as separate from the main text flow, e.g., in boxouts, captions, tables, footnotes, endnotes, citations, etc.). Non-textual content is also linked from within this logical reading order. (Purely decorative non-text content can be ignored).
-
The language of the text has been specified (e.g., via the HTML or XML lang attribute) to optimise text-to-speech (and other alternative renderings), both at the whole document level and, where appropriate, for individual words, phrases or passages in a different language.
-
For readers with color vision deficiency, use of color (e.g., in diagrams, graphics and charts, in prompts, or on buttons inviting a response) is not the sole means of graphical distinction or of conveying information
-
Content is enhanced with ARIA roles to optimize organization and facilitate navigation
-
Where interactive content is included in the product, controls are provided (e.g., for speed, pause and resume, reset) and labelled to make their use clear.

Up-to-date and easy to read, Essentials of Clinical Neurophysiology, Fourth Edition, details the basics of normal and abnormal neurologic function and provides authoritative clinical guidance on performing and interpreting today's full range of neurophysiologic studies. Drs. Karl E. Misulis and Thomas C. Head cover recent advances in technology as well as changes in training and practice patterns for EEG, EMG, EP, intraoperative monitoring, sleep studies, and autonomic testing. Offering a practical overview of this complex field, this one-stop resource is an excellent tool for board review and preparation.
Key Features
- Covers a wide variety of the studies used to evaluate epilepsy, coma, dementia, movement disorders, neuromuscular diseases, nerve dysfunction, sleep apnea, narcolepsy, and more
- Features numerous illustrations that highlight key content and promote visual understanding
- Includes a new Key Points section to begin each chapter and offers suggested readings for further study
- Discusses new technologies and explains their clinical implications
- An ideal resource for neurology residents, fellows in neurophysiology and EEG/EMG, those studying for recertification, and EEG/EMG technicians
- An eBook version is included with purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures, and references, with the ability to search, customize your content, make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud. Additional digital ancillary content may publish up to 6 weeks following the publication date
