Description

<p>Dropped head syndrome is commonly encountered on a daily clinical practice. Electromyography is often necessary for diagnosis because not only extrapyramidal disease but also neuromuscular disease may be the cause. In cases of suspicion that is caused by posterior neck weakness, repetitive nerve stimulation test, nerve conduction study, and needle electromyography were required to distinguish neuromuscular junction disorders, neurogenic disease, and myogenic disease. If abnormality cannot be found in the limbs, truncal electromyographic examination including the respiratory muscles may be required. The examiner should be familiar with electromyography of the trunk on a routine basis.</p>
