An EMG performed with NCS evaluates for mononeuopathy (problem with one nerve), polyneuropathy (problem with many nerves), radiculopathy (problem with a nerve root), neuromuscular junction disease (problem with the connection between nerves and muscles), and myopathy (a muscle disease).  If an EMG/NCS is performed correctly & it is negative (or normal), it can generally rule out those types of problems.

What does a normal emg look like?

A normal electromyography (EMG) shows consistent electrical activity in muscles at rest, typically characterized by a flat line or minimal spontaneous activity. During voluntary contraction, the EMG displays well-defined, orderly waveforms with consistent amplitude and frequency, reflecting healthy muscle recruitment. There should be no signs of abnormal electrical activity, such as fibrillation potentials or positive sharp waves, which could indicate muscle or nerve damage. Overall, a normal EMG indicates proper neuromuscular function.
