Nerve conduction study. An NCS detects damage to nerves the way an EMG tests muscle function. During the test, the technician puts electrode patches on your skin over the nerve that may be causing ...

Electromyography (EMG) is a diagnostic test that measures how well the muscles respond to the electrical signals emitted to specialized nerve cells called motor nerves. EMG tests are safe and pose ...

Facial nerve paralysis describes weakness in the muscles on one or both sides of your face that causes an inability to smile, blink, or control other facial movements. It happens when the facial ...

Question. What meaning does decreased nerve conduction amplitude have in light of normal conduction velocity and normal muscle testing on EMG? Response from Joel M. Rothfeld, MD, PhD ...

An EMG test result may confirm a diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome or indicate the need for further testing. In some cases, it also indicates where the nerve pressure exists in the wrist.

Introduction Aberrant facial nerve regeneration (AFR) following facial nerve palsy may give rise to ptosis because of increased orbicularis tone. We describe a series of patients presenting with ...

As you can see, a nerve conduction velocity test is a very useful tool for the physician to determine nerve damage. For more information on NCV/EMG testing, do not hesitate to call the clinic.
