Electromyography (EMG)

Electromyography (EMG) is a diagnostic technique used in clinical neurophysiology to measure the electrical activity of muscles. During an EMG, small electrodes are placed on the skin or inserted into muscles to detect electrical signals when muscles contract. This process helps assess the health of muscles and the nerves controlling them. EMG can help diagnose conditions such as nerve damage, muscle disorders, or neuromuscular diseases, providing valuable information to guide treatment decisions. It is a valuable tool for understanding how well the nervous system and muscles are working together.
