Understanding Somatosensory Evoked Potential (SSEP) - Both Upper & Lower Limbs in Navi Mumbai
What is Somatosensory Evoked Potential (SSEP) - Both Upper & Lower Limbs in Navi Mumbai?
The Somatosensory Evoked Potential (SSEP) - Both Upper & Lower Limbs is a noninvasive diagnostic test to assess the speed of electrical conduction across the spinal cord. The technique involves applying electrical stimulus at specific nerves in the arms and legs and measuring the impulses generated by the stimulus at various points in the body. If the spinal cord is pinched, the electrical signals will travel slower than usual.
SSEP may also be used to monitor spinal cord function during surgical procedures, particularly for cervical or thoracic spine surgery.
