Medical Conditions - Emg

EMG, otherwise called electromyography, is a diagnostic test done to assess the electrical activity produced by the muscles and the nerves that supply these muscles. The nerves carry signals to the muscles, which makes them contract or relax. This test is done to diagnose the cause of tingling sensation, muscle weakness, numbness, and limb pain.
