    Also, this statement is written in the text, and it's from a medical textbook. "A simple clinical rule is that fasciculations in relaxed muscle are never indicative of motor system disease unless there is an associated weakness, atrophy or reflex change."

    Questioning Electromyography Protocols

    So if you don't have to be stuck in a certain place to show presence of ALS because it's centrally located, why do they stick you soooo many places sometimes? Why can't they just do one stick then? I'm just wondering because my EMG felt very incomplete to me. It was done only 2 weeks into...

    EMG Hypothetical: Missed Muscles?

    This is kind of a hypothetical on an EMG. I was wondering if any of you had info about this or maybe your neuros have explained. I've read a lot of posts on here about getting an EMG too early, more than one EMG, etc. I was wondering, if someone had an EMG on a leg and arm, but it missed the...
