What is the test?
- Electromyography (EMG) tests analyze nerve and muscle electrical
activity. Some types of electrical activity are normal, whereas
some patterns of electrical activity suggest a disease of nerves
or muscles. Nerve conduction studies are tests that are often
used in combination with the EMG evaluation. For nerve conduction
studies, the muscles and nerves are stimulated with small bursts
of electricity to see whether the nerves and muscles respond
in a normal way.
