Abstract
Over the past few years clinical electromyography (EMG) has been marked by the development of new techniques of both stimulating and recording and new hardware for collecting and processing electrical signals. Rapid changes have made it difficult for the practicing electromyographer to know what to adopt since few studies have either made comparisons between existing methods and new methods, or addressed the question of how often the new methods aid in clinical electrodiagnosis.
