EMG UPPER LIMB

Electromyography (EMG) is an efficient diagnostic procedure to measure muscle and nerve function. Doctors frequently suggest an electromyogram of the upper limb when patients present with symptoms such as pain, weakness, numbness or tingling in their arms or hands. A test for electromyography upper limb tests both sides of the upper limb; shoulder, arm, forearm, wrist and hand to identify any underlying neuromuscular problems. The price for an electromyography upper limb is between INR 2500 and INR 4000. We at City Imaging strive to deliver accurate, safe, and reliable low back electro physiology testing to enable early diagnosis and develop effective treatment plans.

What is an EMG Upper Limb Test?

An Electromyography (EMG) test for Upper Extremity (also called Upper Limb) is a diagnostic procedure that measures the muscle’s electrical activity by testing the upper body's nerves. In most cases, the test will be done in conjunction with a Nerve Conduction Study (NCS) to get a complete picture of how well the nerves send signals to the muscle.

An EMG Upper Limb test will be helpful if the symptoms are limited to the arms and to hands.

Why is an EMG Upper Limb Test Needed?

How Does the EMG Upper LimbTest Work?

The EMG Upper 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

A very tiny gauge (or thin) needle electrode is placed through the skin and into certain muscles of the lower leg to measure the electrical activity in the muscle both while the muscle is relaxed and when it contracts.
