Who should get EMG and NCV of Left Lower Limb done in Visakhapatnam?

Those who benefit most from EMG and NCV of Left Lower Limb include patients with recurrent or treatment-resistant infections, suspicious lesions, or symptoms that routine blood tests have not explained.

What conditions can EMG and NCV of Left Lower Limb help diagnose?

What do EMG and NCV of Left Lower Limb results mean?
