  2. Electromyoneurography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromyoneurography

    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 ...

  3. Electrophysiological techniques for clinical diagnosis

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrophysiological...

    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.

  4. Facial electromyography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facial_electromyography

    Facial EMG has been used as a technique to distinguish and track positive and negative emotional reactions to a stimulus as they occur. [4] A large number of those experiments have been conducted in controlled laboratory environments using a range of stimuli, e.g., still pictures, movie clips and music pieces.

  5. Electromyography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromyography

    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 .

  6. Electrophysiology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrophysiology

    Electrophysiology (from Greek ἥλεκτ, ēlektron, "amber" [see the etymology of "electron"]; φύσις, physis, "nature, origin"; and -λογία, -logia) is the branch of physiology that studies the electrical properties of biological cells and tissues.

  7. Electrogram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrogram

    An electromyogram (EMG) is an electrical recording of the activity of a muscle or muscle group. An EMG study can be combined with a nerve conduction study to diagnose neuromuscular diseases such as peripheral neuropathy and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.

  8. Fasciculation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fasciculation

    Surface EMG is more sensitive than needle electromyography and clinical observation in the detection of fasciculation in people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis [2] (ALS). Deeper areas of contraction can be detected by electromyography (EMG) testing, though they can happen in any skeletal muscle in the body.

  9. Nerve conduction study - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_conduction_study

    Nerve conduction studies along with needle electromyography measure nerve and muscle function, and may be indicated when there is pain and/or weakness in any extremity which could indicate spinal nerve compression or some other neurologic injury or disorder.
