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 ...

This week we are going to explore a testing method which is used to diagnose and specifically identify areas of nerve injuries in the body – the nerve conduction velocity test or NCV. The nerve ...

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 ...

After suffering from a muscular injury such as carpal tunnel or a pinched nerve, your doctor might call for an electromyogram (EMG). The test uses needles and small shocks to test the signaling 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 ...

Sponsored by Charles Theofilos, M.D. We use different forms of diagnostic testing to understand a patient’s pain. Electromyography (EMG) testing is one of those diagnostic tools that helps us ...
