## 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
## 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.
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
