Diagnostic procedures that may reveal muscular disorders include direct clinical observations. This usually starts with observation of bulk, possible atrophy, tone, and then), the testing of various chemical and antigen levels in the blood, and electromyography (measuring electrical activity in muscles). Diagnostic imaging may be helpful in certain cases, such as those caused by strokes or tumors.
