If there are symptoms present only on one side of the body, particularly on the right leg, doctors may order an EMG of the Right Lower Limb. This specific evaluation is used to determine whether there are any nerve or muscle abnormalities present in the right hip, thigh, leg, foot area.

The EMG Right Lower Limb test is conducted in two main parts:

1. Nerve Conduction Study

The placement of small electrodes onto the skin above an individual’s selected nerves, followed by an application of a slight electrical stimulus through these electrodes, will produce a response of the respective nerve. This response will then be recorded and analysed to allow the determination of the effectiveness and speed of transmittance by the respective nerve.

2. Needle EMG

An extremely small gauge needle electrode is inserted through the skin into particular muscles of the lower limb. During passive and active (contracting) states the needle picks up electrical activity occurring within muscle.

What to Expect During the Procedure?

Here’s what you can expect:

1. First, the patient does use lotion or oil on your skin before the testing.
2. The patient will lie on the table. The electrodes are placed on the skin and a small electrical stimulus is applied.
