Your muscles move when nerve signals from the brain tell them to get to work. Electromyography (EMG), a diagnostic test, measures how well your muscles respond to those signals. Movement is a complex ...

Electromyography (EMG) testing to determine the quality of donor nerves can improve the outcome of nerve transfer surgery to restore function in patients with a brachial plexus injury, new research ...

A study by researchers at Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS) finds that electromyography (EMG) testing to determine the quality of donor nerves can improve the outcome of nerve transfer surgery to ...

A nerve conduction velocity (NCV) test is used to assess nerve damage and dysfunction. Also known as a nerve conduction study, the procedure measures how quickly electrical signals move through your ...

When a person is dealing with pain in their back, arms, legs, hands, and feet, it might not always be clear as to why that pain is happening. Arthritis and nerve pain are both common sources of ...

This week we are going to discuss not an injury but a specific test that is performed to diagnose an injury. That test? The nerve conduction velocity test or NCV/EMG. The nerve conduction velocity ...
