    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.

  3. 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 .

  5. 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 ...

  6. 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. Neuromechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuromechanics

    Electromyography (EMG) is a tool used to measure the electrical outputs produced by skeletal muscles upon activation. Motor nerves innervate skeletal muscles and cause contraction upon command from the central nervous system. This contraction is measured by EMG and is typically measured on the scale of millivolts (mV).

  9. Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intraoperative...

    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.
