Respuesta Rápida NCV/EMG (conducción nerviosa/electromyography) testing detects daño nervioso from accidente de autos — specifically radiculopathy caused by herniated discs compressing raíz nerviosas. This test provides objective, measurable evidence of nerve injury that strengthens lesiones personales claims. MAIC performs NCV/EMG en nuestras instalaciones with el mismo día scheduling.

What NCV Tests Measure

Nerve Conduction Velocity (NCV) testing measures the speed and strength of electrical signals traveling through peripheral nerves. Small electrode pads are placed on the skin, and brief electrical pulses are applied to stimulate the nerve. The speed and amplitude of the resulting electrical signal is measured and compared to normal reference values for that nerve and the paciente's age.

Reduced conduction velocity or reduced signal amplitude indicates daño nervioso, demyelination, or axonal loss — all objective, quantifiable findings that can be presented in litigation.

What EMG Tests Measure

Electromyography (EMG) involves inserting a small needle electrode into specific muscles and recording their electrical activity at rest and during contraction. Abnormal spontaneous activity — fibrillation potentials and positive sharp waves — indicates active denervation, meaning the nerve supplying that muscle has been injured. The pattern of abnormal muscles identifies the specific raíz nerviosa level involved.

Why These Tests Matter for Your PI Case

NCV/EMG findings are objective and reproducible — they cannot be faked or exaggerated. When NCV/EMG results show slowed conduction at C6 raíz nerviosa level and EMG shows denervation in C6-innervated muscles consistent with a C5-6 hernia de disco on MRI, the combination is extremely difficult for a defense expert to dismiss.
