electromyography

Electromyography (EMG) is a diagnostic technique used to measure the electrical activity of muscles. By inserting small electrodes into the skin or using surface electrodes, healthcare professionals can monitor how well muscles respond to signals from nerves. EMG helps assess muscle function, identify nerve damage, and diagnose conditions like carpal tunnel syndrome or muscular disorders. The results can guide treatment options and rehabilitation plans, ultimately improving patient care by providing insight into the connection between the nervous system and muscular health.
