Default Emg/rns

Ally,
Mine were done by the docs themselves, with the exception of one that was done by that docs technician that works from his office.

On the RNS 2 docs did the wrist area, the shoulder and the face on me, although it is my legs that are the worst weakness wise. One doc did legs, shoulder and face, and one doc did legs only. The worst decrements were shoulder and face.

Hope this helps.

Becky

The muscles they tested were mostly my leg and my fingermuscles and I was thinking that if an mg doc did it he or she would know which muscles to concentrate on. Even so, after the test the tech came back in and said some of the tests had been "borderline" so they need to do some other muscles but I find no reference to that on the report.

Anyway, just curious . . .

Thanks!

Ally
