elektrodiagnostiikkaan
Elektrodiagnostiikkaan, often translated as electrodiagnosis, is a branch of diagnostic medicine that utilizes electrical activity of the body to assess the function of nerves and muscles. It is a crucial tool for diagnosing a wide range of neurological and neuromuscular disorders. The primary methods employed in electrodiagnostiikkaan include electromyography (EMG) and nerve conduction studies (NCS).
Electromyography involves inserting a fine needle electrode into a muscle to record its electrical activity, both
In addition to EMG and NCS, electrodiagnostiikkaan may also encompass other tests such as evoked potentials,
