• Electromyography (EMG) is a diagnostic procedure to assess the health of muscles and the nerve cells that control them (motor neurons). EMG results can reveal nerve dysfunction, muscle dysfunction or problems with nerve-to-muscle signal transmission.

• Electromyography, the graphing and study of the electrical characteristics of muscles. Resting muscle is normally electrically silent. However, when it is active, as during contraction or stimulation, an electrical current is generated, and the successive action potentials (impulses) can be...
