✦ Synopsis

Our retrospective study assessed the validity of the median motor terminal latency index (m-TLI) in evaluation of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). In patients deemed most likely to have CTS, the mean m-TLI was markedly reduced at 0.25 while the controls had a mean m-TLI of 0.44. The m-TLI was abnormal in all of the ''probable CTS'' hands and in none of the control hands. The m-TLI is a sensitive adjunctive electrophysiologic measure for the presence of CTS.

The terminal latency index (TLI) adjusts the distal motor latency (DL) for the terminal distance and the proximal nerve conduction velocity. We prospectively studied 66 patients in order to assess the sensitivity of the median nerve TLI for the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Clinical and

I read with interest the superb review/AAEM minimonograph number 26, ''The Electrodiagnosis of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome'' by Stevens. I was puzzled by his statement, ''It is not wise, however, to do multiple different sensitive NCSs in the same patient, because of the risk of a type I error (normal pa
