A novel computerized method for automatic diagnosis of clinical electromyographic (EMG) studies is presented. The elecromyographer (EMGer) performs a routine EMG study and assigns graded levels of pathology to each of the muscles examine. This data is input into the program. A priori, the program computes all the possible combinations (sets) of nerve damage, translates them to all possible combinations (sets) of muscle damage. Once the data is input, the program checks the input against all these muscle-sets for goodness of fit. Once the muscle-sets that best fit the EMGer's input are found, they are translated to the nerve-sets that produced them. Among the latter, only the nerve-sets that include the minimum number of damaged nerve-segments are retained and output as the best explanation for the EMGer's findings-the diagnosis.
