electrodiagnostic
Measuring electrical signals
Electrodiagnostic describes medical tests that measure electrical activity in muscles and nerves to diagnose disorders.
Nerve conduction studies and electromyography are common electrodiagnostic procedures: The electrodiagnostic workup confirmed carpal tunnel syndrome.
The tests help identify conditions like neuropathy, radiculopathy, and neuromuscular diseases.
