## 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

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 The aim of the study was to assess the diagnostic value of shortβsegment nerve conduction studies (NCS) at 2βcm intervals from 4 cm above to 4 cm below the medial epicondyle in a large group of patients with ulnar neuropathy at the elbow (UNE). Furthermore, we wanted to compare electrod
