Errors in EMG reporting.

Abstract

In a review of 112 electromyographic reports from 112 different electromyographers, errors were classified as anatomic, terminologic, technical and interpretative. Ninety-seven of the reports had substantive errors. The EMG report should be complete, precise, accurate and logical and include a summary of the anatomic and neurophysiologic data with a translation into a probable clinical diagnosis.
