Detailed explanation-1: -The diagnosis of peripheral neuropathy can be supported by electrodiagnostic testing, which includes nerve conduction studies (NCS) and needle electromyography (EMG). This activity reviews some of the causes of peripheral neuropathy and the corresponding electrodiagnostic findings.
Detailed explanation-2: -Nerve conduction velocity (NCV) is a test to see how fast electrical signals move through a nerve. This test is done along with electromyography (EMG) to assess the muscles for abnormalities. The nerve conduction velocity test is performed to evaluate nerve function. It tests the speed impulses travel through a nerve.
Detailed explanation-3: -An EMG test looks at the electrical signals your muscles make when they are at rest and when they are being used. A nerve conduction study measures how fast and how well the body’s electrical signals travel down your nerves.
