What is a EMG 4 LIMBS?

An EMG (Electromyography) of all 4 limbs is a comprehensive electrodiagnostic test that evaluates the health of muscles and the nerves that control them in both the arms and legs. By assessing muscle electrical activity, it helps neurologists identify the cause and location of weakness, numbness, tingling, radiating pain, and other symptoms associated with nerve and muscle disorders.

Can I take my regular medications before the test?

Yes, unless your doctor advises otherwise. Inform your doctor about all medications you are taking before the test.

What is the difference between EMG and NCV?
