Therapeutic Electromyography

Therapeutic electromyography (EMG) is a diagnostic and treatment tool that measures electrical activity in muscles. It involves placing small sensors or needles into muscles to assess their function and diagnose nerve or muscle disorders. This information helps healthcare providers understand muscle activation patterns, identify nerve or muscle damage, and develop targeted treatments. EMG can also be used in rehabilitation to monitor progress and guide therapy, promoting improved muscle strength, coordination, and recovery. Overall, it’s a useful technique for evaluating and enhancing muscle and nerve health.
