Understanding EMG NCV ALL FOUR LIMBS
What is EMG NCV ALL FOUR LIMBS?
The Electromyography (EMG) and Nerve Conduction Velocity (NCV) tests for limbs are performed to measure nerve activity of the muscles and nerves of the hands and legs. The EMG test measures muscle response to electrical stimulation and NCV test measures the rate of conduction of nerve impulses of the limbs. Abnormal results may indicate problems of electrical conductivity through muscles and nerves.
What is EMG NCV ALL FOUR LIMBS used for?
- To measure the speed of conduction of nerve impulses of the limbs
- To measure electrical conductivity of the muscles of the limbs
- To determine the origin of muscular or neurological dysfunctions
- To diagnose conditions with any suspected damage to muscles or nerves
