We performed short segment incremental stimulation on 13 consecutive patients with ulnar neuropathy across the elbow (UNE) and conduction block. Conduction block occurred proximal to the medial epicondyle in 62%, at the epicondyle in 23%, and below the elbow in 15%. The ulnar nerve may be more prone

to that observed in the trigeminal complex. They play an important role not only in pain control but also contribute to the organization of contralateral motor responses to noxious stimuli, including movements of the eyes, ears, and mouth. 10 Moreover, Djupsjo Β¨backa et al. 2 demonstrated that stimu
Electrophysiologic localization of ulnar neuropathy at the elbow often depends on demonstration of segmental slowing. Based on normative data obtained from 50 control subjects, we compared the utility of flexed and extended elbow positions in demonstrating focal slowing at the elbow as compared to t
## Abstract Shortβsegment nerve conduction studies were performed in 17 limbs with clinical features suggestive of ulnar neuropathy at the elbow. Recording from flexor carpi ulnaris yielded 93% sensitivity, compared with 71.4% when recording from abductor digiti minimi. The rationale underlying the
