Overview

EMG (Electromyography) is a testing procedure that assesses the function of muscles and nerves controlling the muscles in your body. A Right Arm EMG test will review the muscle and nerve function in the entire right arm. Your shoulder, upper arm, forearm, wrist, and hand will all be included. The EMG test performed at City Imaging will be done with very precise and advanced technology. The average cost for an Right Arm EMG test is between INR 2300 to INR 4000.

Patients who have symptoms of numbness, tingling, weakness in their muscles, burning pain, or difficulty using their arm can undergo an EMG test to assist the physician in determining if these problems are from damage to the nerves, muscle dysfunction, or other neurological issues.

What is an EMG Right Arm Test?

The electrical activity generated by your muscles at rest and during movement is determined by an EMG test. Muscles typically respond to signals transmitted through your nervous system; however, if there is an abnormality in the nerve pathway or muscle cells themselves, it may alter the electrical activity of muscle tissue, which will then be able to be detected during an EMG test.

The EMG Right Arm examination may include:

  • Needle Electromyography
  • Nerve Conduction Study
