An EMG measures the electrical activity within the muscle by use of a sterile needle electrode, and there are many characteristics that an electromyographer can look at when evaluating an EMG. The activity within the muscle is recorded by the EMG machine and represented graphically on an electromyogram. This electromyogram measures the electrical activity of motor unit potentials within the muscles and represents them graphically on an X-Y axis. The X axis of the electromyogram represents time measured in milliseconds, and the Y axis of the electromyogram represents the amplitude of the motor unit measured in voltage. Because these electrical responses are represented in waves, those waves can be converted to sounds and listened to by the electromyographer. The examiner observing this activity can then make interpretations of the activity while watching and listening to the electromyogram. Often this begins with listening to the activity of the muscle with the needle moving in the muscle (called insertional activity), listening and observing to the activity of the muscle while it is at rest, listening and observing the motor unit morphology and recruitment patterns of the muscle with gentle contraction, and finally listening and observing the interference pattern of the muscle when it is at full contraction.

Electromyography, also known as an EMG is used to measure the electronegativity in muscles. These test can take place at major hospitals such as St. Judes.
