Needle Electrode

A needle electrode is a type of electrode commonly used in medical and biomedical applications. These electrodes are thin and typically needle-shaped, and are inserted under the skin to measure nerve or muscle activity in a specific area.

Features and Applications:

• Electromyography (EMG): Needle electrodes are used in EMG tests to measure the electrical activity of muscles. This test is performed to evaluate nerve and muscle functions and plays a crucial role in diagnosing neuromuscular disorders.
• Neurological Tests: Used in the diagnosis of neurological disorders, particularly to measure nerve conduction velocities and assess nerve damage.
