| electromyography |
This is a diagnostic test for many types of neuromuscular disorders. It involves insertion of a small needle into several muscles to obtain information about the severity and the cause of weakness. It is usually combined with nerve conduction studies (NCS) which allow direct measurement of the integrity of various motor and sensory nerves. The skin overlying certain nerves is electrically stimulated and the response is measured over skin or muscle. ...

a method of muscle retraining for patients with neurological deficits; for treatment of conditions, such as headache, associated with muscle tension; and for general relaxation. Electrical activity of the muscle or area is recorded by electromyography and displayed on a video screen in front of the patient, accompanied by a variable audible signal, which allows the patient to monitor muscle movements .
