AAET DEF STUDY GUIDE PREP QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS WITH VERIFIED SOLUTIONS 100%
CORRECT




A-waves or Axon reflex - correct answer- Seen when using sub-

maximal stimulation during the F-wave recording.

Consistent in latency and amplitude and usually occurring

before the F-wave. Thought to be a result of reinnervation of

the nerve.



Abduct - correct answer- Move away from the median plane



Abductor digiti minimi

(ADM or ADQ) - correct answer- Ulnar innervated

muscle on the medial side of the little finger alongside the

5th metacarpal. The most superficial muscle in the

hypothenar eminence. Commonly used when recording

ulnar motor studies.



Abductor digiti quinti

pedis (ADQp) - correct answer- Medial plantar,

, thus tibial nerve, innervated muscle on the medial side of

the foot below the navicular bone. Commonly used when

recording tibial motor studies.



Abductor pollicis brevis

(APB) - correct answer- Median innervated muscle just medial to the
1st metacarpal

bone. The most superficial muscle of the thenar eminence.

Commonly used when recording median motor studies.



Accessory peroneal nerve - correct answer- A branch of the
superficial peroneal nerve that partly

supplies the extensor digitorum brevis (EDB) in 18-22% of

people. The EDB is normally innervated by the deep

peroneal. The accessory peroneal nerve is seen when the

peroneal amplitude, recording from the EDB, is larger when

stimulating at the fibular head than when stimulating at the

ankle. It can be confirmed by stimulating behind the lateral

malleous, adding that amplitude to the ankle amplitude. The

sum of which should closely equal the amplitude when

stimulating at the fibular head.
