What Is an Electromyography (EMG) Test?
Electromyography (EMG) tests are usually done in conjunction with nerve conduction tests (NCV). Nerve conduction tests evaluate the flow of electrical currents through a nerve before it reaches the muscle. An EMG test measures a muscle’s response to nerve stimulation of that muscle.
EMG testing records the activity of a muscle:
At rest when there should be no activity
During a slight contraction of muscle
While a full contraction of muscle takes place
As an EMG nerve test records the muscle activity, an NCV records the quantity and velocity of the current through the nerve. The exams are done at the same time, so it’s easier to figure out if the problem is with the nerve, the muscle or both. An electromyography test is usually done by a neurologist with training in electrodiagnostic medicine.
In the New York and New Jersey area, trained and experienced physicians at Neuro Injury Specialists provide exceptional care for neurological conditions ranging from brain injuries to headaches. The team of doctors there offer the most up-to-date diagnostic testing that includes nerve conduction tests and electromyography near me.
