Electromyography (EMG)

It is therefore a lesion of the level of the axon of the myelin or of the neuromuscular junction (Myasthenia) .

Diagnostic Through Electromyography

Sometimes you experience weakness of the limbs, or loss of sensitivity , or even a limb is suddenly paralyzed (sometimes after an accident) , the EMG may be requested by the doctor.

​

It makes it possible to study the peripheral nervous system of the muscles and the neuromuscular junctions. Like Echodopplers , it is a non-traumatic and painless examination, in the worst case, it is slightly unpleasant during the fine bites that the examiner implants in the muscle.

​

With the EMG, we deliver the tracing of the electric currents that accompany musclular activity, whether it is at rest, active or even during galvanic stimulation as part of a neurological examination.

​

The plot obtained (Electromyogram) reveals the location of the lesion responsible for our complaints.
