Her professional experience includes consultant positions at The Walton Centre NHS Foundation Trust and Alder Hey Children's NHS Foundation Trust in Liverpool, United Kingdom, as well as Mazumdar Shaw Medical Center in Bangalore.
As a clinical neurophysiologist in Bangalore, Dr. Radhika Manohar evaluates neurological symptoms such as progressive muscle weakness, numbness, tingling, abnormal muscle activity and suspected peripheral nerve dysfunction. She uses electrodiagnostic investigations to assess nerve and muscle function and help distinguish between different neurological conditions. Nerve conduction studies and electromyography may be recommended when symptoms suggest neuropathy, nerve compression, muscle disease or motor neuron dysfunction.
Her specialist interests include motor neuron disease, myasthenia gravis, muscular dystrophies and peripheral neuropathies. She performs single-fibre EMG, also known as jitter analysis, to support evaluation of selected neuromuscular junction disorders. Her expertise in clinical neurophysiology helps guide diagnostic assessment and treatment planning for patients with complex neuromuscular symptoms.
Dr. Radhika also uses multichannel EMG techniques in the assessment of selected movement disorders, including Parkinson's disease and dystonia. Her published clinical interests include neurophysiological evaluation for movement disorders, pre-surgical planning and intraoperative neurological monitoring. These diagnostic approaches may help specialists understand abnormal muscle activity and assess the function of relevant nerve pathways.
Dr. Radhika Manohar received the Clinical Excellence in Neurophysiology Award in the United Kingdom in 2014. Her professional background includes experience in adult and pediatric clinical neurophysiology, specialist diagnostic services and multidisciplinary neurological care. She communicates in English, Malayalam, Hindi, Kannada and Tamil, according to her official hospital profile.
Patients searching for Dr. Radhika Manohar, a neurologist and EMG specialist in Bangalore, can find her official consultant profile at Manipal Hospital, Kanakapura Road. She provides specialist assessment for nerve and muscle disorders, neuromuscular junction conditions, peripheral neuropathies and movement-related neurological symptoms. The need for specific investigations and treatment is determined after clinical evaluation.
Dr. Radhika Manohar specialises in nerve conduction studies, which assess how electrical signals travel through peripheral nerves. NCS may help evaluate numbness, tingling, weakness, nerve compression and peripheral neuropathy. Results are interpreted alongside symptoms, neurological examination and other investigations.
Electromyography measures electrical activity in muscles and helps investigate conditions affecting muscles, motor nerves and nerve roots. Dr. Radhika Manohar has advanced expertise in EMG testing for complex neuromuscular disorders. The examination may be combined with nerve conduction studies when clinically appropriate.
Single-fibre electromyography is a specialised investigation used to assess the transmission of signals between nerves and muscles. Dr. Radhika Manohar performs single-fibre EMG and jitter analysis, which may support the diagnosis of conditions such as myasthenia gravis.
Myasthenia gravis is a neuromuscular junction disorder that can cause fluctuating muscle weakness, drooping eyelids, double vision and difficulty swallowing. Dr. Radhika Manohar evaluates suspected myasthenia gravis using clinical assessment and appropriate neurophysiological investigations. Treatment is determined according to the diagnosis and disease severity.
Motor neuron disease, including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), affects nerve cells responsible for voluntary muscle movement. Symptoms may include progressive weakness, muscle wasting, twitching and difficulties with speech or swallowing. Dr. Radhika Manohar specialises in neuromuscular assessment and electrodiagnostic testing that may contribute to diagnosis.
Peripheral neuropathy may cause numbness, burning sensations, tingling, pain or weakness in the hands and feet. Dr. Radhika Manohar evaluates peripheral nerve disorders using clinical examination and nerve conduction testing. Treatment depends on the underlying cause, which may include diabetes, inflammatory disease or hereditary conditions.
Diabetic neuropathy occurs when prolonged metabolic changes associated with diabetes damage peripheral nerves. Symptoms may include reduced sensation, burning pain and tingling in the feet. Neurological assessment and selected nerve conduction studies may help characterise nerve involvement and identify other possible causes.
Muscular dystrophies are inherited conditions associated with progressive muscle weakness. Dr. Radhika Manohar has documented expertise in evaluating neuromuscular disorders, including muscular dystrophies. Assessment may involve neurological examination, blood investigations, EMG, genetic testing and referral for multidisciplinary care.
Guillain-Barré syndrome is an acute immune-mediated disorder affecting peripheral nerves. It can cause rapidly progressing weakness, altered sensation and reduced reflexes. Neurophysiological studies may support diagnosis. Rapidly worsening weakness or breathing difficulty requires emergency hospital assessment.
Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) is an immune-mediated peripheral nerve condition that may cause progressive or recurring weakness and sensory symptoms. Dr. Radhika Manohar's expertise in nerve conduction testing supports evaluation of suspected inflammatory neuropathies. Diagnosis requires consideration of clinical findings and appropriate investigations.
Carpal tunnel syndrome results from compression of the median nerve at the wrist. It may cause tingling, numbness and weakness in the hand. Dr. Radhika Manohar performs electrodiagnostic assessments that can help confirm nerve involvement and evaluate severity in selected patients.
Radiculopathy occurs when a spinal nerve root becomes irritated or compressed, potentially causing radiating pain, numbness or weakness. EMG and nerve conduction studies may help distinguish nerve root disorders from peripheral neuropathies. Dr. Radhika Manohar provides specialist neurophysiological assessment for suspected nerve dysfunction.
Parkinson's disease is a neurological movement disorder associated with tremor, stiffness and slowed movement. Dr. Radhika Manohar has documented expertise in movement disorder neurophysiology. Specialised EMG techniques may be useful in selected movement disorder assessments, although Parkinson's disease is primarily diagnosed clinically.
Dystonia causes involuntary muscle contractions that may produce abnormal movements or postures. Dr. Radhika Manohar uses multichannel EMG techniques for selected movement disorder evaluations. These investigations can help characterise muscle activation patterns and support specialist treatment planning.
Tremor is an involuntary rhythmic movement that may have several neurological or medical causes. Assessment includes a detailed history, neurological examination and investigations when necessary. Dr. Radhika Manohar's clinical neurophysiology expertise includes selected neurophysiological techniques for analysing abnormal movement patterns.
Repetitive nerve stimulation evaluates changes in muscle responses following repeated electrical stimulation of a nerve. It may help investigate suspected neuromuscular junction disorders, including myasthenia gravis. Dr. Radhika Manohar has expertise in specialised electrodiagnostic testing for neuromuscular conditions.
Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring assesses selected nerve pathways during surgery to help the surgical team identify potential changes in neurological function. Dr. Radhika Manohar has documented expertise in pre-surgical neurophysiological planning and intraoperative monitoring. Its use depends on the procedure and clinical requirements.
Muscle weakness may arise from disorders affecting the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, neuromuscular junction or muscles. Dr. Radhika Manohar specialises in distinguishing neuromuscular conditions through neurological examination and advanced electrodiagnostic testing. Accurate diagnosis helps guide appropriate specialist treatment and follow-up.
