Another word for electromyogram (EMG) is electromyography. Both of these terms refer to a test of the electric activity in a muscle.
The electrical signals are measured using an electrode over the skin and recording the sound made when impulses fire. EMGs can also be done using needles inserted directly into the muscle.
