This Friday 1/9/09 I am going to have a EMG test done for the numbness on my left lateral foot/ankle. It does not look fun!
Electromyography (EMG) is a technique for evaluating and recording the activation signal of muscles. EMG is performed using an instrument called an electromyograph, to produce a record called an electromyogram. An electromyograph detects the electrical potential generated by muscle cells when these cells contract, and also when the cells are at rest.
