Given his initial "probable" diagnosis, the EMG test will show if your dad's MND has progressed into more areas of his body.
I don't know enough about your dad's symptoms or clinical status to give an opinion on if the EMG may be a re-evaluation test, but I do know that he is under the care of an excellecent team.
It's good to hear he's been stable for a while (but do read my reply to you re his new cough on another thread)
Take care.
Love Ellie.

Was it explained to you both that the diagnosis can be 'possible', 'probable' or 'definite'? I was given a 'possible' diagnosis in November 2018. In May 2019, my MND had progressed significantly but, according to the criteria for diagnosis, I am still a 'possible'.
