Abstract
Electrodiagnosis in inflammatory myopathies is based mainly on electromyography (EMG), which shows different patterns according to the different disease presentations. In the acute phase, polyphasic potentials with diminished amplitude and duration are seen, whereas in its chronic phases, mixed neuropathic and myopathic patterns are found. After corticosteroid treatment, EMG tends to return to normal.
