• Those with suspected compression neuropathies, such as: carpal tunnel syndrome, entrapment at the elbow, tarsal tunnel syndrome or entrapment at the fibular head.
• Those with suspected neuromuscular junction disorders such as Myasthenia Gravis, Myasthenic Syndrome. These differential diagnoses are confirmed with repetitive nerve stimulation.
• Symptom based complaints such as weakness, disturbances in skin sensation provided the clinical assessments which support the need for the study.
