## 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

## Abstract Introduction: The aim of this study was to generate reference data for ulnar nerve short segment conduction studies (SSCSs) at 2βcm intervals. Methods: Ulnar nerve SSCS data were collected from dominant and nonβdominant arms of 200 healthy volunteers. The effects of age, gender, weight,
Conventional electrodiagnosis may localize an ulnar neuropathy to the general region of the elbow. Separating retroepicondylar compression from compression by the humeroulnar aponeurotic arcade from compression by the deep flexorpronator aponeurosis is more difficult. In 35 patients, we compared loc
## 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
