What is the electromyography?

[Olga]

Prompt, what the electromyography shows?

Where it or she can be made and skolo it costs or stands?

Whether pokazyvet an electromyography of damage of muscles (for example, breaks, cicatrixes, etc.) and damages of a sciatic nerve? And whether there are no more modern and qualitative methods of definition of the above described damages???



Yours faithfully, Nikolay

EMG (ENMG) is a complex of methods of an estimation of a functional status of the nervously-muscular system, based or founded;established on registration and the is qualitative-quantitative analysis of various kinds of electric activity of nerves and muscles. Basic purposes EMG as method of functional diagnostics the following:

1. Revealing of a level of a lesion of the nervously-muscular apparatus

2. Definition topics of a lesion and prevalence of process

3. Definition of character of a lesion

4. Definition of a degree of an expression of pathological process

EMG the-polymodal method of research including big -in the techniques. On a way of data acquisition. To character of research and methods of data processing in EMG allocate following techniques of inspection:

1. Interferentsionnaja superficial EMG

2. Stimuljatsionnaja EMG

- Research of M-answer and rate of diffusion of a wave on motor (SRVm) and sensory (SRVs) to fibers

- Research late nejrograficheskih phenomena (a F-wave, the ?-reflex, And-wave)

- Research of a blink reflex

3. Rhythmic stimulation and definition of reliability nervously-muscular transfers (decrement-test)

4. Needle EMG

- Research of potentials of impellent units (PDE)

- Research of spontaneous activity at a pathology

5. Magnetic stimulation

- Research of central time of motor carrying out

- Research of M-answer and SRVm on deeply located nervous trunks

In Moscow it is possible to make, for example, in scientific research institute of a neurology of Russian Academy of Medical Science, in Sankt-Petersburg in MAPO on saltykova-UNnO??a. At us it is possible to make, come.:) Cost approximately 700-800 rbl., in some establishments probably is more dear or expensive.

Breaks, cicatrixes by means of EMG are not defined or determined, definition of disturbance of function of a sciatic nerve, other nerves and muscles probably.

Thanks for the answer!!!

Prompt and in Burdenko it is possible to make it, if yes where to address (if it is possible the address, phone)?

And more to pair or steam questions: what research can be spent on presence of breaks, microbreaks, cicatrixes at muscles of a back surface of a femur?

What from listed by you EMG should be made for definition of disturbances of functions of a sciatic nerve?

About scientific research institute of neurosurgery precisely I do not know, I think, that should do or make. Research *quot; on presence of breaks, microbreaks, cicatrixes at muscles of a back surface iNnOa*quot; is a survey of the orthopedist-traumatologist. For an estimation of function of a sciatic nerve research of ?-reflexes is spent stimuljatsionnaja EMG with definition SRVm on tibial and fibular nerves, an estimation of the F-answer. It is if necessary supplemented needle EMG. It is not necessary for itself to appoint or nominate inspections. For this purpose you do not have necessary knowledge. Address to the doctor to the neurologist and the orthopedist-traumatologist internally and they will define or determine necessary volume of inspections.

Thanks big for the answer!!!
