The procedure typically involves inserting a fine needle into the target muscle to capture the electrical signals, which are displayed on a screen in the form of waves and may also be heard through an audio amplifier. The electrical activity is analyzed while the muscle is at rest, slightly contracted, and fully contracted. A lower score indicates better care for this measure.Electromyography is a minimally invasive diagnostic study that measures electrical activity produced in a muscle in response to stimulation by a nerve. Ige has a score of 13.95% for this measure. Of the 86 patients, 12 had an EMG for diagnosis of isolated lower back pain. They meet exclusions and are removed from the initial population. Twelve patients were diagnosed with sciatica and two patients reported radicular symptoms. Ige has 100 patients diagnosed with isolated lower back pain between January 1 and December 31.
Diagnosed with malignant neoplasm of spinal cord.Patients who have radicular symptoms documented.The denominator: Patients 18 and older diagnosed with isolated lower back painĮxclusions are removed from the denominator: The numerator: Patients who had an EMG for diagnosis of isolated lower back pain A lower score means you're providing higher quality care. Practice Quality Quality Measures Other Neurologic Conditions EMG Utilization EMG Utilization for Patients with Isolated Lower Back Pain Measure Purpose: Reduce the number of patients with lower back pain who had electromyography (EMG) for diagnosis.
