Electroneuromyography (EMG)

Electroneuromyography (EMG) examination is composed of nerve conduction studies and needle EMG examinations. Nerve conduction study is made with low-voltage electricity by stimulating nerves and recording nerve activity over muscle. In Needle EMG examination, nerve and muscles are evaluated by pricking muscles.
