What is EMG?
EMG is one of the major diagnostic tests for diseases of nerve and muscle. It provides objective evidence of nerve and muscle disease, and can often determine the cause of the problem.

Description of the Electromyography Tests
For individual nerve or nerve root entrapments, or traumatic injuries, EMG evaluation provides precise information about the exact site of injury, its severity, and prognosis.
For generalized neuropathies, EMG provides important information about the type of nerves affected, the part of the nerve fiber affected, whether the neuropathy is inherited or acquired, whether it is likely to be inflammatory and open to various therapies, as well as its severity and prognosis.
For disorders of muscle, EMG again gives important information about the kind and severity of muscle disease, the muscle groups most affected, and whether it is likely to be inflammatory and open to various therapies.
