Electromyography (EMG)

Gwajin lantarki na tsoka (EMG) hanya ce ta likita don tantance lafiyar tsokoki da kuma ƙwayoyin jijiyoyi da ke sarrafa su (ƙwayoyin jijiyoyi masu motsa jiki). Sakamakon EMG na iya bayyana rashin aikin jijiya, rashin aikin tsoka ko matsaloli tare da watsa sigina daga jijiya zuwa tsoka. Ƙwayoyin jijiyoyi masu motsa jiki suna watsa siginar lantarki da ke sa tsokoki su yi kwangila. EMG yana amfani da ƙananan na'urori da ake kira electrodes don fassara waɗannan siginonin zuwa jadawali, sautuka ko ƙimar lambobi waɗanda ƙwararre ke fassara su.

Likitanka na iya umurce ka da yin gwajin EMG idan kana da alamun cututtuka ko alamomi da za su iya nuna rashin lafiyar tsoka ko tsoka. Irin waɗannan alamomin na iya haɗawa da: Tatsuniya Makamakon rauni na tsoka Ciwon tsoka ko ƙwaƙƙwaran Wasu nau'ikan ciwon ƙafa EMG yana da mahimmanci don taimakawa wajen gano ko cire wasu yanayi kamar: Rashin lafiyar tsoka, kamar su dystrophy na tsoka ko polymyositis Cututtuka masu shafar haɗin kai tsakanin jijiya da tsoka, kamar su myasthenia gravis Cututtukan jijiyoyi a wajen kashin baya (jijiyoyin gefe), kamar su ciwon hanji na carpal ko cututtukan jijiyoyi na gefe Cututtuka masu shafar ƙwayoyin ƙwayar cuta a cikin kwakwalwa ko kashin baya, kamar su amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ko polio Cututtuka masu shafar tushen jijiya, kamar su diski mai rauni a cikin kashin baya

EMG hanya ce mai ƙarancin haɗari, kuma matsaloli na da wuya. Akwai ƙaramin haɗarin zubar jini, kamuwa da cuta da lalacewar jijiya inda aka saka allurar lantarki. Lokacin da aka bincika tsokoki a ƙasan kirji da allurar lantarki, akwai ƙaramin haɗari sosai wanda zai iya haifar da iska ta shiga yankin tsakanin huhu da ƙasan kirji, wanda zai haifar da huhu ya ruguje (pneumothorax).
