This week we are going to discuss not an injury but a specific test that is performed to diagnose an injury. That test? The nerve conduction velocity test or NCV/EMG. The nerve conduction velocity ...

Nerve conduction studies show how well the body’s electrical signals travel down your nerves. During a nerve conduction study test, providers apply small electrical shocks to your nerve and record how ...

Doctors may use a range of tests to diagnose myasthenia gravis (MG), including blood tests, nerve conduction tests, and imaging tests. MG is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the voluntary ...

Split hand is a phenomenon where muscles on one side of your hand weaken. It often has links with early ALS, though some other rare conditions may also cause it. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) ...

To measure each subject’s nerve conduction velocity for their study, researchers Jason DeFreitas (pictured far right) and JoCarol Shields used nerve conduction tests that stimulated the nerves in the ...

Chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP) is an immune-mediated condition where inflammation damages the myelin sheath around peripheral nerves. Symptoms often develop slowly over at ...
