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
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
