  2. Electromyography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromyography

    EMG testing has a variety of clinical and biomedical applications. Needle EMG is used as a diagnostics tool for identifying neuromuscular diseases, [5] or as a research tool for studying kinesiology, and disorders of motor control. EMG signals are sometimes used to guide botulinum toxin or phenol injections into muscles. Surface EMG is used for ...

  3. Electrophysiological techniques for clinical diagnosis

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

    EMG measures action potentials, called Motor Unit Action Potentials (MUAPs), created during muscle contraction. A few common uses are determining whether a muscle is active or inactive during movement (onset of activity), assessing the velocity of nerve conduction, and the amount of force generated during movement.

  4. 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.

  5. Electrocardiography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrocardiography

    Signal Denoising: Use wavelet denoising, band-pass filtering (0.5–50 Hz), or Principal Component Analysis (PCA) to remove electromyographic (EMG) noise. Signal Segmentation: Segment the signal based on heartbeat cycles (e.g., R-wave detection). Step2: Select an Appropriate TFA Method

  6. 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.

  7. Nerve injury classification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve_Injury_Classification

    fibrillation potentials (FP), and positive, sharp EMG waves (2 to 3 weeks post injury). axonal regeneration and recovery does not typically require surgical treatment, although surgical intervention may be required, due to scar tissue

  8. Cramp fasciculation syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cramp_fasciculation_syndrome

    Cramp fasciculation syndrome is diagnosed by clinical examination and electromyography (EMG). [5] Fasciculation is the only abnormality [6] (if any) [7] seen with EMG. Cramp fasciculation syndrome is a chronic condition. [8] Treatment options include anti-seizure medications such as carbamazepine, immunosuppressive drugs and plasmapheresis.

  9. Electromyoneurography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromyoneurography

    As to more recent use, electromyoneurography has been employed throughout the 21st century, aiding in the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome, abnormal glucose levels, and many other myopathies. This procedure now analyzes the nerve conduction and muscle potentials through the use of H-Reflex and F-Wave studies. Combined with a pre-examination ...
