Electromyography (EMG) is a diagnostic procedure to assess the health of muscles and the nerves that control them. EMG results can reveal nerve or muscle dysfunction or problems with nerve-to-muscle signal transmission. Motor neurons transmit electrical signals that cause muscles to contract. During an EMG tiny needle electrodes are inserted directly into a muscle and record the electrical activity in that muscle. The signals recorded are displayed on a screen with sound and numerical data values that are then interpreted by a consultant. A nerve conduction study is another part of the test and uses electrode stickers applied to the skin (surface electrodes) to measure the speed and strength of signals traveling between two or more points.
