Published on: 31/03/2025

The peroneal nerve is a critical branch of the sciatic nerve, responsible for both motor and sensory functions in the lower leg and foot. It controls the muscles that lift the foot and provides sensation to the outer portion of the lower leg and the top of the foot. When this nerve sustains damage, it can lead to significant functional impairment, including foot drop, numbness, and chronic pain.

Electromyography (EMG) is a crucial diagnostic tool used to assess nerve and muscle function. It helps detect neuropathies, neuromuscular disorders, and nerve injuries by measuring the electrical activity in muscles. EMG plays a key role in diagnosing Peripheral Neuropathy, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Sciatica, and demyelinating conditions like Multiple Sclerosis (MS).
