Guest guest Posted August 21, 2004 Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 Hi I've had several EMG's done. Some have been very wrong - some showed that I had sensation and full muscle tone when it was obvious to look at my leg and see what was wrong with it (left.) But, from my understanding it measures the electrical impulses in the leg hence the nerves. They put this together and look for spastic muscles (machine goes nuts when it finds them....sounds like an old tv on a bad station.) I didn't know they could diagnose MD with it though. I'll look for my website where I got all my info and send it to you. Kathy EMG ? > Does anyone know what the specific EMG results would be for tc?

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 I don't think there would be 1 specific EMG result for all of us.......because it affects us all just alittle differently. Since this is late, how did it go? Did you get any answers? Me Nebraska, USA mymocha@... > Does anyone know what the specific EMG results would be for tc?

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 With EMG's there is no real baseline for TSC usually we display radiculopathy at several levels after surgery though. My neurosurgeon had me do SEPs or sensory evoked potentials because those can display the strength of sensory nerves and there are baseline/normal values to make comparisons. > I don't think there would be 1 specific EMG result for all of > us.......because it affects us all just alittle differently. > > Since this is late, how did it go?
