- quality and speed of impulse conduction by nerve fibers;
- reaction speed;
- The ability of muscles to respond to signals from nerve endings.
The doctor prescribes a comprehensive or local examination, taking into account the patient's symptoms, complaints, and the proposed diagnosis.

Examination of the upper and lower extremities using ENMG
Special equipment in the clinic "Avatage" is used during the procedure. The device captures the passage of a nerve impulse to the tissues. When exposed to external stimuli, the patient may experience pain. Discomfort is associated primarily with nerve irritation and the subsequent response of the body in the form of muscle contraction.
Needle ENMG is considered more painful for the patient, in which the electrodes of the apparatus are inserted directly into the muscles. Pain during this form of examination, as a rule, occurs at the preparatory stage, as well as when removing the electrodes.
The average duration of ENMG in adults and children is from 30 minutes to one hour. During the procedure, the patient may be:
- sitting position;
- lying down;
- reclining
The parts of the body on which the electrodes are applied are treated with an antiseptic. After that, the electrodes are directly fixed.
The doctor asks the patient to initially relax and fixes this state. After that, the patient strains the muscles of the upper and lower extremities, which is also fixed with a special device.
The results obtained are transferred to a computer and displayed mainly in the form of a graph. If desired, they can be printed on paper. Find more information about the procedure at https://awatage.com/service/elektronejromiografiya/.
