Nerve Conduction Velocity / Electromyography

Nerve Conduction Velocity is a test of the speed of conduction of impulses through a nerve. Nerve Conduction studies are performed in the evaluation of suspected neuromuscular disease and provide an objective measure of pathophysidic changes. The information obtained for this study helps to plan treatment and determine prognosis for the patient. The most common use of NCV/EMG test are for carpal tunnel screenings. NCV/EMG test can be performed in pre-employment screenings for early detection of existing carpal tunnel syndrome so that the employer is aware of a potential workers compensation claim before hiring the employee.
