• Kelainan pada serabut otot karena berbagai
etiologi
Myopathy: Sign and Symptom
Normal EMG?
Normal CK level?
Algorithm
Role of EDx
NCS Recommendation
Needle EMG Recommendation
Edx Recommendation
NCS Results
• SNAP: Normal.
• CMAP: Decreased amplitude with significant
muscle fiber atrophy. Normal latencies and
conduction velocities
Needle EMG Results
• Classic findings are low amplitude, short
duration, polyphasic MUAP with early
recruitment.
• Resting activity: Abnormal activity depends on
the type of disorder involved.

Complex Repetitive Discharges
TERIMA KASIH
Quantitative EMG
• May provide a more detailed measurement of the
MUAPs
• Better indication of waveform duration, which is a
sensitive parameter for diagnosing myopathies.
• The mean duration is calculated using 20 MUAPs
and on a screen set with a trigger and delay line.
• This avoids superimposing MUAPs and falsely
creating a polyphasic.
