ABSTRACT

The electrical activity of a discreet region of an accessible muscle can be registered by means of the insertion of an electrode and needle. The pattern of electrical activity in the muscle (electromyogram) in rest and during the activity has determined itself, and the abnormality has been correlated with disorder at different levels from motor unit. Studies of motor nerve conduction. These studies practice by means of the registry of the electrical answer of a muscle to the stimulation of their nerve motor two or but points throughout their passage, which determines the speed of fast conduction but in motor fibers of conduction between the stimulation points
