Not normal EMG test. how to treat it.?

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 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.
What is Rectified EMG?
Rectified EMG is EMG where the negative peaks are made positive. In Matlab: rectified_emg = abs(emg).
What are the two major types of EMG's?
Surface EMG & Needle EMG. Generally speaking, only needle EMG can be used for diagnostic purposes.
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.
Who invented the emg test?
The electromyography (EMG) test, which measures the electrical activity of muscles, was developed in the early 20th century. Key figures in its development include the neurologist and physiologist Hermann von Helmholtz, who contributed to understanding muscle physiology, and later researchers like Edgar Adrian, who advanced the techniques for recording electrical signals from muscles. While there isn't a single inventor, these contributions collectively laid the foundation for modern EMG testing.
What does the acronym EMG stands for?
EMG-Eternity Marketing Group.
Can you be a carrier of myotonic dystrophy if you test negative by EMG?
