We congratulate Dr. Stetson and his colleagues [Stetson et al., 19931 for their decision to use an objective measure of disease [nerve conduction studies (NCS)] in their studies of the relationship between work and carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Many of their findings are identical or nearly identica

This study examined the severity of symptoms in carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) in relation to nerve conduction measures of the median nerve. Clinical symptom severity and nerve conduction studies were evaluated for 64 hands with CTS in 45 patients. We found the following: (1) significant relationships
## Abstract Transcarpal motor conduction to abductor pollicis brevis (APB) was evaluated in 43 patients (70 hands) with suspected carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Transcarpal motor conduction was abnormal in 80% of hands compared with 11.5% with prolongated distal motor latency from wrist stimulation.
