Antecedent poliomyelitis was demonstrated in all patients by electromyography or muscle biopsy or both.
Electromyography (EMG) is a technique that records the electrical activity of skeletal muscles.
Electromyography (EMG)-A diagnostic test that records the electrical activity of muscles.
Electromyography is usually done before surgery.
Evidence of remote denervation consistent with antecedent poliomyelitis was demonstrated in all patients by electromyography or muscle biopsy or both.
In some cases, nerve conduction studies with electromyography of the affected muscles may be performed to evaluate an underlying neuromuscular disorder.
In some cases, nerve conduction studies with electromyography of the affected muscles may be performed to evaluate the child's muscular activity and provide a comprehensive assessment of nerve and muscle function.
Laboratory tests include electromyography (a measurement of the electrical activity of muscle cells) and nerve conduction velocity tests, which measure the speed that nerves transmit impulses.
Nerve conduction testing may be combined with electromyography (EMG), an electrical test of the muscles.
Nerve conduction velocity tests, electromyography, and imaging studies of the affected area may be employed.
