EMG/Nerve Conduction Studies are a two part test designed to evaluate the function of nerves. The nerve conduction part involves stimulating nerves in either your arm or leg to evaluate the function of that nerve. Electromyography (EMG) involves inserting a small needle into some of the muscles in either your arm or leg. There is usually no electrical stimulation involved with the EMG part of the test.
