Common sites for IM injections include the following: 1. The ventrogluteal muscle is the preferred site for adults and children over the age of 1 year because there are no large nerves or vessels, it is a large muscle, it is sealed by bone and contains less fat (Berman et al., 2008). 2.
electromyogram (EMG). Recording of electrical activity of a muscle associated with contraction and relaxation. This is obtained by placing a microelectrode within a muscle.The recording process is called electro-myography. diagnostic test that records the electrical activity of muscles. In the test, small electrodes are placed on or in the skin; the patterns of electrical activity are projected on a screen or over a loudspeaker. This procedure is used to test for muscle disorders, including muscular dystrophy. Mentioned in: Myopathies.
Pulse volume recording (PVR) is a non-invasive imaging test that evaluates the lower or upper extremity blood flow. They are actually the more complete form of ankle brachial index, because they test more areas of the limb and not just the flow at the end. Pulse volume recording is a functional test. This means that it does not examine specific blood vessels, but rather assesses the sum of all blood flow to the examined limb.
