In Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, Sensory Nerve Conduction Velocities Are Worst in the Middle Finger Than in the Index Finger

Frontiers in Neurology, 2022
Although the index finger is generally used for sensory nerve conduction study in cases of carpal tunnel syndrome, there are reports that the middle finger should be used.

Experiment for teaching virtual cathode in nerve conduction studies

, 2021
Introduction/AimsThe virtual cathode (VC) is a site near the anode where the nerve can be stimulated. Costimulation of neighboring nerves via the VC can affect recording and interpretation of responses.

Bilateral nerve conduction studies must be considered in the diagnosis of sciatic nerve injury due to intramuscular injection

Neurological Sciences and Neurophysiology, 2020
Objectives: Although compound muscle action potential (CMAP) and sensory nerve action potential (SNAP) amplitudes of the nerves are reduced in sciatic nerve injury due to intramuscular injection (SNIII), they may still be higher than the reference values

A study of retrograde degeneration of median nerve forearm segment in carpal tunnel syndrome of variable severities

Alexandria Journal of Medicine, 2014
Introduction: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a disorder of the hand which results from compression of the median nerve within its fibro-osseous tunnel at the wrist. The slowing in the forearm motor conduction velocity suggests the presence of retrograde
