Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

EMG (Electromyography) can check the function of the muscle by recording the electrical activity produced by the muscle fibers when they contract. This test is used to diagnose and evaluate muscle weakness, nerve dysfunction, and disorders of the neuromuscular junction. RICE (Rest, Ice, Compression, Elevation) is a first-aid treatment for acute injuries. PLMD (Periodic Limb Movement Disorder) is a sleep disorder. NMJ (Neuromuscular junction) is the site where a motor neuron communicates with a muscle fiber, but it is not a procedure to check for muscle function.
