Intramuscular EMG

Intramuscular EMG (electromyography) is a diagnostic procedure that involves inserting a fine needle electrode directly into a muscle to measure its electrical activity. This technique helps assess the health of the muscles and the nerves controlling them. When a muscle is at rest or during contraction, it produces electrical signals, and recording these signals can identify issues like nerve damage, muscle diseases, or conditions affecting muscle function. It provides detailed information about muscle activity at a specific site, aiding doctors in diagnosing neuromuscular disorders accurately.
