    EMG is a test that measures the electrical activity of muscles at rest and during activity by placing electrodes on the skin or inserting thin needles into muscles. The electrodes detect electrical signals from muscle fibers that are transmitted through wires and amplified and filtered for display and analysis. EMG can use surface electrodes on the skin, needle electrodes inserted into muscles, or wire electrodes to detect and record muscle activity.

    EMG is usually performed by stimulating a nerve in
    the arm, leg or back with a very small current and
    then recording the electrical response both at rest
    and with activity by placing specialized electrodes
    . close to the muscle group

    The signal can then be amplified, filtered and


    displayed on an oscilloscope or may be displayed
