EMG (electromyography) test and NCV (nerve conduction velocity) test are used to measure the electrical activity of muscles and nerves respectively.
EMG (electromyography) test and NCV (nerve conduction velocity) test are used to measure the electrical activity of muscles and nerves respectively.
Muscles react when they receive signals from nerves, and as the muscles get excited signals are produced which can be recorded and measured by EMG test.
Electromyography measures the signals which are produced by muscles when they are in the resting phase as well as when the muscles are being used.
Whereas, nerve conduction velocity tests evaluate the speed at which nerve impulses are conducted through nerves in your body.
EMG and NCV Tests can be done separately, but usually, they are done together at the same time to diagnose various disorders of muscles, nerves, or both.
