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 latency in half the patients. In 2 patients the latencies were abnormal only after wrist flexion. The test may thus be useful in diagnosis of borderline cases.

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

We evaluated the natural history of median nerve sensory conduction, hand/wrist symptoms, and carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) in an 11-year longitudinal study of 289 workers from four industries. Twenty hands which had carpal tunnel release surgery were excluded, leaving 558 hands for the primary study
