What conditions are excluded by electromyography of the upper extremities?

He had an EMG nerve conduction of upper extremity and the results showed carpal tunnel in the left and right wrist and ulnar nerve compression. To show other conditions such as multiple sclerosis?

A EMG response to stimulation of a nerve action. During the test electrodes are inserted into the muscle. EMG is generally used to measure the activity electrical muscle at rest, slight contraction and procedure-related powerful contraction.A can do is the nerve conduction velocity (NCV). EMG can be done to identify the cause of symptoms such as muscle weakness, deformity, spasticity, atrophy and stiffness. It can be used to detect if anyone knows a weakness or a real pain because of weakness or psychological reasons. An MRI is used to detect multiple sclerosis, although sometimes a CT used.
