Abstract

Electromyography is a method of recording electrical muscle activity during reflex or voluntary contractions. It offers information about neuromuscular physiology, being use­ful in highlighting afflicted structures in various neu­ro­lo­gi­cal diseases, and especially in the diagnosis of muscle and neuromuscular diseases. In children, the importance of using cutaneous electromyography is given by the fact that it allows the diagnosis of pro­gres­sive muscular dystrophies (Duchenne, the benign Becker-Kiener form), of congenital myopathies, as well as myo­si­tis of various causes (viral infections, inflammatory di­seases, drugs or intense physical exercise).
