Abstract

Abstract Background: Regulations in Egypt offer duty free pre-equipped cars to people with special physical needs. Egyptian patients applying for this service need to submit a medical evidence of their physical disability. A detailed electrophysi-ologic session (electromyography and nerve conduction stud-ies; EMG/NCS) plays a key role in diagnosing lower motor neuron affection. Thus, and on regular basis, the Clinical neurophysiology unit at Kasr Al Ainy hospital receives patients referred from the Specialized Medical Councils of the Egyptian Minstery of Health to disclose the neuromuscular disability, if present. Aim of Study: Analyzing medical records at the Clinical Neurophysiology Unit in Kasr Al-Ainy Hospital, for the patients attending for EMG/NCS during the year 2018. The EMG/NCS is a prerequisite to apply for having a duty free pre-equipped vehicle through the ministry of health. Material and Methods: This is a retrospective, descriptive study. Data extracted from the medical records included the patients' national identification card included the age, gender, governorate of residence, occupation and marital status as well as the date of examination, limbs examined and electro-physiologic diagnosis reached. Results: Various valuable community data were reached. Significant results were found in relation to Egyptian geo-graphic sectors and electrophysiologic diagnoses concluded among other variables analyzed. Conclusions: We are suggesting additional investigations to patients with non-abnormal electrophysiologic results, to document their physical disability. We are also recommending further analyses of the relevant current status of Upper Egypt regional unit.
