The basics of electromyography [PDF]

Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery & Psychiatry, 2005
Electromyography (EMG), the recording of electrical activity in muscle, should be regarded as an extension of the clinical examination. It can distinguish myopathic from neurogenic muscle wasting and weakness. It can detect abnormalities such as chronic denervation or fasciculations in clinically normal muscle.
