The Role of Electrophysiological Workup in Lumbar Spinal Canal Stenosis (LSCS)
There is an increasing number of studies combining surface EMG with gait assessments and tasks. This approach is interesting for being noninvasive, with clinical utility to be further determined. On the basis of previous guidelines, paraspinal mapping is considered the gold-standard electrophysiological diagnostic tool. Interestingly, there were no recent studies on paraspinal mapping, indicating a shift to alternative methods.
