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

## Abstract Phalen's wrist flexion test may reproduce the sensory symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). We have used this test in conjunction with motor and sensory latency studies in 20 patients with symptomatic CTS in one or both hands. The test caused an increase in the motor or sensory late
Correction factors exist to allow for the dramatic effect that temperature has on nerve conduction study parameters. However, these are based on normal nerves in normal individuals and may not be appropriate in the diseased nerve setting. Our clinical study showed that in carpal tunnel syndrome, the
