Electromyography (EMG) is of proven value in the diagnosis of acute and chronic neuromuscular diseases in infants and children. When this technique is combined with nerve conduction studies, including repetitive nerve stimulation studies, it is often possible upon completion of the studies to identify the disorder as one of nerve, neuromuscular junction, or muscle. The purpose of this article is to review the principles and techniques of EMG in infants and children and to describe the EMG findings in several neuromuscular disorders.
