What Is Myopathy?
4. Diagnosis of Myopathy
When you visit the doctor for your symptoms, you will likely undergo a physical exam that includes several tests to determine your muscle strength. These tests usually involve the doctor or medical provider placing pressure on the limbs to see if you can resist or push back.
Other testing includes an EMG or electromyography. This measures the electric impulses transmitted to the muscles and their relative reaction. It is painless and helps to measure the progression of an ongoing myopathy diagnosis.
