Electromyography in italy (Elettromiografia)

May 29, 2009 by  


The electromyography (Elettromiografia) is a diagnostic method that allows to study the peripheral nervous system (PNS) from the functional point of view, and is supportive diagnostic and treatment of many neurological diseases.

Electromyography (EMG) is a technique for analyze the activation signal of muscles. EMG is performed using an instrument called elettromiografo , to produce a record called an electromyogram. An electromyograph detects the electrical potential generated by muscle cells when these cells are mechanically active, and also when the cells are at rest.

The sequence of the various measurements is not fixed for each disease presented, but may vary based on the results obtained gradually.

The electromyographic study makes use of two stages: the Elettroneurografia (ENG) and the electromyography (EMG)

The ENG (Elettroneurografia) is the study of the neurophysiological parameters of nerve conduction . The conduct can be examined from a sensory or motor. In the first case (sensitive) measures the ability to provide information to higher centers collected from peripheral endings. In the second case (motor) measures the ability to send commands to the various muscles engines.

The EMG (electromyography) is the recording of electrical muscle.

Both methods allow you to:

• locate noise ratio (where is the problem and what structures are involved?)

• identify the underlying pathological process is .

• characterize the deficit .

• assess the seriousness of the deficit .

• monitor the course of the disease

• To provide a prognosis


assess the effectiveness of therapies taken

    See? And you wonder why people have disdain for you. Not once did I disrespect your religion. A few months ago, I went to an Atheist assembly, which they actually have a sanctuary for. It was called the “Ethical Assembly of Atheists.” There was a pulpit and a guy gave a sermon. Everyone was really nice to me, but the sermon was filled with “Christians do this, Jews do that.” You can feel like Atheism is not a religion all day, but not all Atheists feel that way. That’s a fact.
