Electromyography is a test that evaluates how muscles and the nerves that control them are working. It records electrical signals from muscle and nerve tissue to look for patterns of injury or disease. It is commonly used in spine, orthopedic, and neurology clinics to evaluate arm or leg symptoms. It is often performed alongside nerve conduction studies in the same visit.
