A member asked:

What is a nerve conduction velocity (ncv) test?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Part of EMG: Nerve function can be tested using electromyography, and the NCV test applies an electrical shock over the nerve to ascertain if normal velocity and voltage is present. Patterns of nerve abnormality can diagnose different diseases.
