✦ Synopsis

The diagnosis and management of lesions of the brachial roots and of the brachial plexus is improved by appropriate investigation, both in acute and chronic disorders. The choice of investigation should be determined by the clinical problem. Since they are relatively non-invasive, electrophysiological investigations are particularly useful. In this review the role of these investigations is considered in relation to diagnosis and management.
