Electromyography, Intervertebral Disc Displacement
Conditions
Brief summary
Disc herniation is a common cause of low back pain and leg pain. Electromyography is the only test that can objectively examine nerve damage caused by a lumbar disc herniation. This study aimed to compare the MRI findings of disc herniation and the aspects of electromyography.
Interventions
DIAGNOSTIC_TESTelectromyography
Electromyography (EMG) is an electrodiagnostic medicine technique for evaluating and recording the electrical activity produced by skeletal muscles.
