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 ...

After suffering from a muscular injury such as carpal tunnel or a pinched nerve, your doctor might call for an electromyogram (EMG). The test uses needles and small shocks to test the signaling of ...

We don’t see many EMG (electromyography) projects, despite how cool the applications can be. This may be because of technical difficulties with seeing the tiny muscular electrical signals amongst the ...

Graduate student Peyton Young works with a robotic arm controlled by electromyography (EMG) signals. Young has now developed a technique to use pressure measurements from muscles (force myography, FMG ...

Erection is a vascular phenomenon dependent upon psychological, endocrine, and neurological factors. Adequate arterial perfusion through the cavernous arteries is essential for correct erection.

We have a large number of muscles in our body. These muscles are responsible for various movements of the body. When these muscles are active, as happens in the case of muscle contraction and ...

THE clinical manifestations of tetany are striking and include paresthesias, numbness, pain in the distal extremities or periorally, and sensations of tension in the muscles of the hands, feet, face ...

Repetitive electric stimulation at 50-Hz applied to the ulnar nerve at the wrist normally elicits from the abductor of the fifth finger an evoked response of ≥ 5 mV, which may increase no more than 50 ...
