Definition of superiority for English Language Learners. : the quality or state of being high or higher in quality. : the belief that you are better than other people.
The speed of the response is called the conduction velocity. The same nerves on the other side of the body may be studied for comparison. When the test is done, the electrodes are removed. Nerve conduction studies are done before an EMG if both tests are being done.Nerve conduction tests may take from 15 minutes to 1 hour or more, depending on how many nerves and muscles are studied.ormal: The EMG recording shows no electrical activity when the muscle is at rest. There is a smooth, wavy line on the recording with each muscle contraction. The nerve conduction studies show that the nerves send electrical impulses to the muscles or along the sensory nerves at normal speeds, or conduction velocities.
When do reflex and muscle tests indicate nerve damage. Reflexes test neural function. Reflexes may be depressed or exaggerated. When nerve dysfunction exists, the size of the reflex response helps to indentify where the dysfunction originates.hese tests help gauge the strength in your leg muscles. They can also help the physician tell if there is nerve damage as the result of a degenerative spinal abnormality. For the reflex test, the physician will gently strike the knee and the back of the heel with a small rubber hammer.
