EMGmittaukset
EMGmittaukset, or Electromyography measurements, are a diagnostic technique used to assess the electrical activity produced by skeletal muscles. This method is employed to evaluate muscle health and function. During an EMG, small electrodes are inserted into the muscle or placed on the skin's surface. These electrodes detect the electrical signals generated when a muscle contracts and relaxes.
The signals are then amplified and displayed as waveforms on a monitor. A healthcare professional, typically
EMGmittaukset can help diagnose a wide range of conditions. These include nerve compression syndromes like carpal
The procedure itself is generally safe, though some discomfort or pain may be experienced during needle insertion.
