Clinical neurophysiology tools, like electromyography (EMG) and electroencephalography (EEG), are very important for understanding Parkinson's disease (PD). Here’s what these tools can do:
Check Brain Activity: EEG helps in spotting unusual brain wave patterns that are linked to PD. This shows how movement control is affected.
Examine Muscle Function: EMG looks at electrical activity in muscles. It helps us see problems that can explain motor symptoms, like shaking and stiffness.
By connecting what we learn from these tools with the symptoms that people show, we can understand more about the changes happening in the brain and body because of Parkinson's disease. This helps us improve how we diagnose and treat the disease.
