## 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.
## Abstract Frequencyβdependent conduction block (FDB) has been demonstrated in subjects with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) when the median nerve was stimulated at 30βHZ frequency proximal to the carpal tunnel (CT). However, it was still questionable whether FDB occurred within the region of the CT
