OBJECTIVES AND CONTENTS
Objectives of the Course Unit:	The aim of this course is to provide an understanding of the anatomical and physiological mechanisms underlying electrophysiological tests, including the F-wave, H-reflex, repetitive nerve stimulation tests, the blink reflex, and tests related to the autonomic nervous system.
Contents of the Course Unit:	Within the scope of this course, the F-wave and H-reflex, repetitive nerve stimulation tests, the blink reflex, as well as the anatomy, physiology, and electrophysiological tests of the autonomic nervous system are covered.

KEY LEARNING OUTCOMES OF THE COURSE UNIT (On successful completion of this course unit, students/learners will or will be able to)
Defines and explains the physiological foundations and clinical purposes of late responses and repetitive nerve stimulation tests.
Explains the definition, scope, and areas of application of intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM).
Distinguishes and exemplifies IONM methods and applications by relating them to surgical procedures.
Interprets the effects of EMG equipment, imaging systems, technical factors, and artifacts on recording quality.
Identifies, classifies, and differentiates potential sources of error in EMG recordings.
Relates the general anatomy of the peripheral nervous system to the anatomical and physiological characteristics of the femoral, radial, and musculocutaneous nerves.
Analyzes the clinical and electrophysiological findings associated with the brachial plexus and carpal tunnel syndrome.
