And any EMG done around the heart/lungs can be dangerous.

I don't know for certain if that way of doing a SFEMG is more accurate but I find it interesting how trends in medicine go.

You would think that if a muscle is being contracted and acetylcholine is being used up that it would be accurate. There are simply too many compensatory mechanisms which may interfere with an accurate result under those circumstances. But, hey, I'm no where near an expert on this stuff. Maybe contact Prof. Erik Stalberg, who invented the SFEMG and ask him.

It's just great that you got a diagnosis.
