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.
Nerve conduction studies are performed as follows: 1  Two electrodes are attached to the subject's skin over the nerve being tested. 2  Electrical impulses are sent through one electrode to stimulate the nerve. 3  The second electrode records the impulse sent through the nerve as a result of stimulation.
