The 39 pages that link to Electromyography, each with the reason it gives.

• Action potentialRelated: Its signals reflect the summed activity of muscle-fiber action potentials.

• Neurological examinationRelated: When examination suggests peripheral motor disease, it can help characterize nerve and muscle involvement.

• Peripheral neuropathyRelated: Used with nerve conduction studies, it helps distinguish nerve disorders from muscle disorders.

• Peripheral nervous systemRelated: It helps assess whether weakness reflects peripheral nerve, motor neuron, or muscle dysfunction.

• Nerve conduction studyRelated: It is commonly paired with nerve conduction measurements to assess muscles and their nerve supply.

• Amyotrophic lateral sclerosisRelated: It can reveal patterns of denervation and reinnervation that support an ALS diagnosis.

• NeurologyRelated: It helps distinguish nerve, neuromuscular-junction, and muscle disorders.

• Reaction timeRelated: Muscle recordings can separate movement initiation from the button press ending a trial.

• Motor unitRelated: Its signals can reveal motor-unit activity and help assess neuromuscular disorders.

• PolysomnographyRelated: Muscle recordings track chin tone and limb movements during sleep.

• RadiculopathyRelated: Abnormal muscle activity can provide evidence of injury to a spinal nerve root.
