[Electroneurography in the carpal tunnel syndrome--selective antidromic sensory and orthodromic measurement of the median nerve in the wrist-palm segment with surface electrodes]. 1985

O Hildenhagen, and U Rehm, and B Holdorff

In addition to standard electroneurographic parameters of the median nerve the antidromic sensory and orthodromic conduction velocity in the wrist-palm segment were recorded with surface electrodes. Statistics with stepwise discriminant analysis were based on the data of 102 hands from normal persons and 54 hands from patients with carpal tunnel syndrome. The most sensitive parameter in diagnosis of the mild carpal tunnel syndrome is the antidromic sensory conduction velocity in the wrist-palm segment.

D008297 Male Males
D008475 Median Nerve A major nerve of the upper extremity. In humans, the fibers of the median nerve originate in the lower cervical and upper thoracic spinal cord (usually C6 to T1), travel via the brachial plexus, and supply sensory and motor innervation to parts of the forearm and hand.

D002349 Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Entrapment of the MEDIAN NERVE in the carpal tunnel, which is formed by the flexor retinaculum and the CARPAL BONES. This syndrome may be associated with repetitive occupational trauma (CUMULATIVE TRAUMA DISORDERS); wrist injuries; AMYLOID NEUROPATHIES; rheumatoid arthritis (see ARTHRITIS, RHEUMATOID); ACROMEGALY; PREGNANCY; and other conditions. Symptoms include burning pain and paresthesias involving the ventral surface of the hand and fingers which may radiate proximally. Impairment of sensation in the distribution of the median nerve and thenar muscle atrophy may occur.
