Electromyography (EMG) and Nerve Conduction Velocity (NCV) are electro diagnostic tests that measure the electrical activity of muscles and nerves.

EMG

– A method of studying the electrical activity of a muscle by placing a needle electrode within it and observing:

– The Spontaneous activity in the muscle at rest

– The action potential (MUAP) generated by voluntary contractions of the muscle

– The interference pattern generated by resistance applied by therapist during movements

NCV

– A method of measuring changes in a peripheral nerve by stimulating it electrically and recording the action potential generated.

– Sensory Nerve Conduction Studies

– Motor Nerve Conduction Studies

EMG and NCV used to diagnose: – different Neurogenic and Myogenic lesion like-

– Neuropathy

– Polyneuropathy

Osteoarthritis of the knee joint is one of the leading causes of knee pain. Patients feel pain or stiffness in the joints and experience reduced function due to degeneration of the cartilage. As Physiotherapists, we early assess such patients who are suffering from chronic or age-related degenerative changes in the knee and then plan a treatment accordingly. The treatment is focussed upon improving flexibility, reducing pain, improving strength and weight management that help in alleviating the symptoms of knee pain as early as possible. The knee speciality clinic is set up every Tuesday and an expert Physiotherapist from the Musculoskeletal Physiotherapy Department scrutinizes patients based on a Knee assessment proforma specifically made for knee pain patients.
