Normal Values of Median, Ulnar and Radial Nerves Conduction in Healthy Adults (20-59 years)

Reliability of Upper Limb Neurodynamic Tests: Median, Radial and Ulnar Nerves

Objective: in the evaluation of peripheral nerves, upper limb neurodynamic tests are used to assess the mechanical sensitivity of the nerve. However, very little is known about the reliability of upper limb neurodynamic tests, especially for the radial and ulnar nerves. The aim of this study was to evaluate the reliability of neurodynamic tests of the upper extremities including median, radial ...

Median and ulnar nerve conduction studies among workers: normative values.

To determine normative values for nerve conduction studies among workers, we selected a subset of 326 workers from 955 subjects who participated in medical surveys in the workplace. The reference cohort was composed exclusively of active workers, in contrast to the typical convenience samples. Nerve conduction measures included bilateral median and ulnar sensory amplitude and latency (onset and...

Tension of the ulnar, median, and radial nerves during ulnar nerve neurodynamic testing: observational cadaveric study.

BACKGROUND The ulnar nerve upper limb neurodynamic test (ULNT3) uses upper limb positioning to investigate symptoms arising from the ulnar nerve. It is proposed to selectively increase tension of the nerve; however, this property of the test is not well established. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the upper limb position that results in: (1) the greatest tension of the ulnar ...

Median and Ulnar Nerves Traumatic Injuries Rehabilitation

Peripheral nerves are structures that suffer injuries similar to those seen in other tissues, resulting in important motor and sensory disabilities. It is estimated that the incidence of traumatic lesions is as high as 500.000 cases per year in some countries, where 2,8% of the patients become permanently disabled due to prolonged nerve regeneration time (Noble et al., 1998; Rodrígues et al., 2...

Conduction velocity and fibre diameter of the median and ulnar nerves of the baboon.

Limb dominance and motor conduction velocity of median and ulnar nerves.

The influence of one-sided limb dominance on the muscles, bones and motor conduction velocity of median nerve has been investigated and reported. We have undertaken a more detailed study of the conduction velocity of the efferent fibres of median and ulnar nerves of both sides in 25 right-handed and an equal number of left-handed subjects of both sexes in the age group of 18-30 years. A signifi...
