Electrodiagnostic Assessment of Myopathy

Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved..

Electrodiagnostic testing is a useful tool in the evaluation of suspected myopathy and helps to confirm the presence of a myopathy and exclude disease mimickers. The electrodiagnostic pattern of findings during testing guides subsequent laboratory evaluation, genetic testing, and in identifying potential muscle biopsy targets. It also provides a baseline for subsequent assessment of disease progression or response to therapy. This article summarizes the approach to electrodiagnostic assessment in various myopathic disorders.
