Technical considerations for measurement of median nerve conduction velocity at wrist.
Nerve conduction velocity (NCV) testing for the median nerve is the gold standard for diagnosing carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), which affects about 6% of the general population. However, NCV equipment is relatively expensive and not always available at outpatient clinics. This study investigated the effects of different sampling rates and electrode placements on the NCV values of the median nerv...
متن کاملMedian nerve behavior at different wrist positions among older males
The effect of wrist flexion-extension on the median nerve appearance, namely the cross-sectional area (MNCSA) and the longitudinal (D1) and vertical (D2) diameters, was investigated among older adults (N = 34). Ultrasound examination was conducted to examine the median nerve at different wrist angles (neutral; and 15°, 30°, and 45° extension and flexion), in both the dominant and nondominant ha...
متن کاملeffect of wrist deviation on median nerve cross-sectional area at proximal carpal tunnel level
background: carpal tunnel syndrome (cts) is one of the most common musculoskeletal disorders among computer users. computer users exhibit various wrist angles while typing. dynamic changes of wrist angle may cause different degrees of median nerve compression. the objective of this study was thus to investigate the effects of the combination of wrist flexion-extension with wrist deviation on me...
متن کاملTwo measurement methods of motor ulnar nerve conduction velocity at the elbow: a comparative study.
BACKGROUND Electrodiagnostically, localization of ulnar nerve lesions, which commonly occurs at the elbow, is sometimes problematic. Measurement of motor ulnar nerve conduction velocity (NCV) at the elbow is amongst the most popular techniques to diagnose ulnar neuropathy. In this method, recording from the first dorsal interosseous muscle (FDI) is suggested to be more sensitive than the abduct...
متن کاملMedian and ulnar nerve conduction studies at the wrist: criterion validity of the NC-stat automated device.
OBJECTIVE To compare results obtained with the NC-stat--an automated nerve testing device--to traditional nerve conduction studies relevant to carpal tunnel syndrome screening. METHODS Thirty-three subjects recruited from patients referred for electrodiagnostic testing were studied. Measurements including the distal motor latency (DML), distal sensory latency (DSL), and median-ulnar latency d...
