DR Wang is board certified physical medicine and Rehabilitation Doctor, one of his skill is EMG/NCS test.
Electromyography (EMG) is a diagnostic procedure to assess the health of muscles and the nerve cells that control them (motor neurons). EMG results can reveal nerve dysfunction, muscle dysfunction or problems with nerve-to-muscle signal transmission
Your doctor may order an EMG if you have signs or symptoms that may indicate a nerve or muscle disorder. Such symptoms may include:

Tingling
Numbness
Muscle weakness
Muscle pain or cramping
Certain types of limb pain
EMG results are often necessary to help diagnose or rule out a number of conditions such as:

Muscle disorders, such as muscular dystrophy or polymyositis
Diseases affecting the connection between the nerve and the muscle, such as myasthenia gravis
Disorders of nerves outside the spinal cord (peripheral nerves), such as carpal tunnel syndrome or peripheral neuropathies
Disorders that affect the motor neurons in the brain or spinal cord, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or polio
Disorders that affect the nerve root, such as a herniated disk in the spine

Will my health care provider test me for flu if I have flu-like symptoms?
Not necessarily. Most people with flu symptoms are not tested because the test results usually do not change how you are treated.

Your health care provider may diagnose you with flu based on your symptoms and their clinical judgment or they may choose to use an influenza diagnostic test. During an outbreak of respiratory illness, testing for flu can help determine if flu viruses are the cause of the outbreak. Flu testing can also be helpful for some people with suspected flu who are pregnant or have a weakened immune system, and for whom a diagnosis of flu can help their doctor make decisions about their care.
