These tests could be used to diagnose orthopaedic conditions such as carpal tunnel syndrome, cubital tunnel syndrome, foot drop, wrist drop, pinched nerve in the neck or back (radiculopathy), and sciatica. Both are performed by a physical medicine and rehabilitation doctor or a neurologist. There are two primary types of electrodiagnostic tests: electromyography and nerve conduction studies.
Electrodiagnostic testing measures electrical activity produced by muscles and nerves in your body, and it is used to determine if you have an injury related to nerve or muscle function.
