Finding of fibrillation potential in several muscles innervated by different peripheral nerves (e.g., from musculocutaneous, axillary, and suprascapular nerves) is how one differentiates cervical radiculopathy from a single peripheral nerve injury. EMG/NCS are a reliable way to differentiate between a C8 and T1 isolated radiculopathy. EMG/ NCS are a reliable way to differentiate between a C5 and C6 isolated radiculopathy.
