Explanation

EMGs, or electromyograms, are tests that doctors use to check the health of muscles and the nerves that control them. These tests can help find diseases that damage muscle tissue, nerves, or the points where nerves join muscle, known as neuromuscular junctions. They work by measuring the electrical activity in muscles and nerves. This information can help doctors diagnose conditions like muscular dystrophy or nerve disorders.
