Divided into three parts, this book is a review of basic physiology, pathophysiology, clinical symptoms and diagnostic methods with emphasis on electrophysiology in disorders of muscle and neuromuscular junction, including fatigue. It is aimed at stimulating the reader to use electrophysiology in diagnosis and future development in the field.
