Nerve conduction and electromyography
An electromyogram (EMG) measures the electrical activity of muscles at rest and during contraction. Nerve conduction studies measure how well and how fast the nerves can send electrical signals. An EMG is done to find diseases that damage muscle tissue, nerves. A nerve conduction study is done to find damage to the peripheral nervous system.
