Electromyography is the measurement and analysis of the electrical activity in skeletal muscles. This technique is useful for diagnosing the health of the muscle tissue and the nerves that control them. [8] EMG measures action potentials, called Motor Unit Action Potentials (MUAPs), created during muscle contraction.
Electromyography (EMG) is a technique for evaluating and recording the electrical activity produced by skeletal muscles. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] EMG is performed using an instrument called an electromyograph to produce a record called an electromyogram .
Electromyoneurography (EMNG) is the combined use of electromyography and electroneurography [1] This technique allows for the measurement of a peripheral nerve's conduction velocity upon stimulation (electroneurography) alongside electrical recording of muscular activity (electromyography). Their combined use proves to be clinically relevant by ...

Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) or intraoperative neuromonitoring is the use of electrophysiological methods such as electroencephalography (EEG), electromyography (EMG), and evoked potentials to monitor the functional integrity of certain neural structures (e.g., nerves, spinal cord and parts of the brain) during surgery.
Electromyography (EMG) measurement of electrical activity in the bladder neck. Assessing the "tightness" along the length of the urethra. Fluoroscopy (moving video x-rays) of the bladder and bladder neck during voiding.
2—somewhat common electromyography: EMG: muscles throughout the body (usually skeletal, occasionally smooth) 1—very common electrooculography: EOG: eye—entire globe: 2—somewhat common electroretinography: ERG: eye—retina specifically: 2—somewhat common electronystagmography: ENG: eye—via the corneoretinal potential: 2—somewhat ...
The H-reflex test is performed using an electric stimulator, which gives usually a square-wave current of short duration and small amplitude (higher stimulations might involve alpha fibers, causing an F-wave, compromising the results), and an EMG set, to record the muscle response.
