Re: Cervical & Lumbar Anterolisthesis
With a spondylolisthesis, it can be active or inactive. If inactive, it will show the slippage of one vertebra over the top of the adjacent vertebra, but it will be stable ( no longer sliding). If active, there is some movement which can trap a spinal nerve, pinching and unpinching it as the bones slip.
An EMG is a subjective test and is only as good as the person who gives it, and the person who interprets it. You don't have to have permanent nerve damage yet for there to be nerve compression. Without a MRI, you are missing so much information.
