What is an EMG test?

EMG stands for electromyogram. EMGs are used to test the function of nerve pathways to the muscles. Tiny electrodes are inserted into the muscles. If nerve pathways are injured or damaged, the EMG will show abnormal signals. EMGs can be used to test muscles and nerves in many different parts of the body.
