EMG is a method of measuring muscle activity. In a research laboratory where conditions can be controlled (such as location of electrodes, posture of subject, etc.) and the data can be analyzed accurately (normalized, etc) this can be a very useful tool. A small number of chiropractors feel that this tool can be used to detect areas of spastic or "tense" musculature, and thereby use it to help decide where to adjust the spine. The problem is that none of the strict controls or data analyzing techniques are applied in the clinical setting (doctors office), making this tool very inaccurate. Further, there have not been any studies done that examine the clinical relevance of this tool (no link has been shown between good "scans" and better health of a patient).

What is difference between electromyogram and electromyograph?
An electromyogram (EMG) is a test that measures muscle electrical activity, while an electromyograph (EMG) is the instrument used to perform the test. The EMG records electrical signals produced by muscles during contraction and at rest, providing information about muscle function and nerve activity.
What is Rectified EMG?
Rectified EMG is EMG where the negative peaks are made positive. In Matlab: rectified_emg = abs(emg).
What are the benefits of having an EMG test?
The EMG test is used to assess the body's nervous system and make sure it is functioning properly. There is no waiting for the results to come in, as soon as the test is over, the doctor will have the results. A detailed report is sent to the attending doctor right away. This makes figuring out what is wrong a lot simpler and fast.

Can you take hydrocodone before a EMG test?
Yes,you can but you shouldnt because pain killers will effect the nerve responses and make for inaccurate results. so just have your test and take your medicine after. If you have nerve damage youll need it more after the test anyhow.
Can you be a carrier of myotonic dystrophy if you test negative by EMG?
