Electromyography

[carbar]

I wasn't really sure where to post this, so opted for here.
I was reading the following article:

http://lifeandhealth.guardian.co.uk/health/story/0,16662,1688212,00.html

about a composer/pianist who developed peripheral polyneuritis. The article mentions that he had a test done - electromyography - which sends an electric current through nerves and muscles to assess conductivity. Is this test ever used on SCI patients? I had never heard of it before and was just curious if it would have a SCI application?

Isn't EMG used to tell if something wrong with peripheral nerves? I think it's used for diagnostic when you report loss of function.
