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 your symptoms. A stimulating electrode sends a mild electrical impulse to the nerve. The other el...

The tests can help identify nerve injury or muscle disease such as carpal tunnel syndrome, a pinched spinal nerve, peripheral neuropathy, myositis, or ALS. The presence or absence of injury can be helpful in determining further treatment.Why do I need an EMG or NCS test?
Why is this test performed? Tingling sensation, numbness, muscle weakness, pain or cramping and certain types of limb pain are signs or symptoms that may indicate a nerve or muscle disorder. Common conditions that require Electrodiagnostic testing: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: A condition in which the...
I was sent for an EMG by my hand surgeon who questioned my previous EMG from another doctor, that showed carpal tunnel syndrome. After the surgery my symptoms were the same. Dr. Simovic did a very thorough test for over 40 min. He kept me engaged so it was not a big deal. He found...
Insight NCS provides easy access to side-by-side comparisons of patients’ new results and previous tests conducted — even across different test types and results from previous visits Terminal Latency Index (TLI) and Residual Latency (RL) calculations to improve carpal tunnel evaluation. R-R inter...
In summary, EMG & NCS is useful in the diagnosis of several conditions. Some of these include compressed nerves in the arms or legs (eg.Carpal Tunnel Syndromeor Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome),peripheral neuropathy(eg. Diabetic Neuropathy), and pinched nerves in the neck and back (radiculopathy). As...
Nerve disorders –this can be a local problem such as a trapped nerve (carpal tunnel at the wrist, ulnar nerve at the elbow, peroneal nerve at the knee), or a more generalized problem, such as part of a medical condition e.g. diabetes Nerve roots most commonly in the neck and lower ...
A laboratory study was devised to test three hypothesises: 1. grip type (2 precision & 1 power grip) and wrist posture (neutral & flexed) affect forearm muscle (ECU, ECR, FCU, FCR) activity; 2. grip type and posture deviations affect grip endurance; 3. grip type, wrist posture and gr...
