Nerve & muscle test: Electromyography (EMG) is usually performed alongside nerve conduction studies in order to test the function of nerves and muscles. Emg involves placing a pin (like a fine wire antenna) into various muscles, looking for distress signals that can suggest nerve or muscle problems. Nerve conduction studies involve stimulating a nerve and measuring various facets of nerve conduction.

Nerve & muscle test: Emg (electromyography) is a test of your muscles and nerves. It is typically performed along with nerve conduction studies (ncs). The EMG portion involves placing a recording pin (like a fine wire antenna) into various muscles, looking for 'muscle distress signals' that could suggest nerve or muscle diseases/problems. Nerve conduction studies involve stimulating nerves & recording their signals.
