So here are the results to the EMG. Does it matter who performs the EMG? The doctor had his fellow preform it. My dad said he was extremely anxious during the test. I having problems really understanding what all this means so maybe someone here could help me out. Thanks!
Diagnostic impression: 59yo male with muscle twitches and cramps for 1 year. Neuro exam pertinent for tendon hyperreflexia and increased tone in the lower extremities. EMG/NCT suggestive of a widespread disorder of lower motor neurons, with active axonal loss (fibrillations, positive waves) and motor unit irritability (fasciculations, cramps) evident more in bilateral lumbar and less in cervical myotomes.
