Sensory studies of four fingers were performed on 72 patients with early (distal motor latency <4.2 ms) carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and on 43 control subjects. Results demonstrate that sensory studies of digit 4 yields the highest sensitivity (88%) for diagnosis of early CTS. The sensitivity of dig

Elevations in temperature may produce conduction block in demyelinated neurons. A well-described phenomenon in multiple sclerosis, it has also been reported in some patients with inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathies. We used carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) as a model to study the effect of heat
We read with interest the recent short report titled "Conduction Block in Vasculitic Neuropathy" by Drs. Mohamed et al. (Muscle Nerve 1998;21:1084-1088). The chronic 2-year history and clinical findings of prominent ataxia, symmetric sensory loss, and weakness in their patient is more typical of an
The difference between the median nerve latency to the second lumbrical muscle and the ulnar nerve latency to the second interosseous muscle (L-I DIFF) was tested in a prospective study to discriminate whether prolonged distal motor latency of the median nerve in patients with polyneuropathy (PNP) r
