EMG Test

www.emglaboratory.com EMG (Electromyography) Test Video is a medical educational video explaining the EMG test in details. EMG Laboratory is a state-of-the-art facility that specializes in sophisticated electrodiagnostic testing of the nerves and muscles. Electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction tests are performed in order to evaluate the condition of nerves and muscles. These tests make use of computerized equipment, which allow calculations of the rate at which nerves conduct electrical impulses. In addition, they assess whether or not muscles may have had some interruption in their nerve supply, or if there is any damage to the muscles. This test provides information about a variety of disorders including injured nerve roots, damaged nerve and muscle disorders. The detailed information gathered, and comprehensive analysis that follows, is critical to understanding the neuromuscular condition, which in turn assists in selecting the most effective treatment plan.

just had one today. not something i'd like to do everyday, but not really so bad. try not to worry too much if you're going to get one. the nerve conduction part is pretty simple...little shocks..not too bad...the needle part isn't my favorite, but it is a small needle and not bad really. just relax.

My 8 yr old son........ just had this Test done... he did both the Nerve Test (shocks) and the Muscular test(needle) without shedding tear! he got this test all over his arms and legs! so if your an adult and your getting this test done.... just know that my 8 yr old son went through this whole procedure.... and if he can push through the pain.... SO CAN YOU! just know- PAIN IS WEAKNESS LEAVING THE BODY!

Just came from this and to everyone - don't worry, they really stick the needle very little into the skin,and on one place on my arm there wasn't even blood after he removed the needle...I don't want to curse, but it really is just a small prick XD Also, the electric shock one feels only in the arm or the leg and it just flexes the fingers/toes - doesn't hurt at all. I'm writing a novel here coz I was really bummed out it was gonna be a bad exam- not at all...wish you all the luck! :)

I've had one before (pinched ulnar nerve). I really didn't feel much at all and when I did it was just a few random light vibrations. The nervousness about the test was much worse than the test.

I have to get this test done on Tuesday. This video makes it look easy, so I hope that it's not too bad.
