Efficacy of Optimal Recording Electrode Placement for Median-Lumbrical and Ulnar-Interossei/Lumbrical Distal Latency in the Diagnosis of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Abstract

This technique for M2L-UI3L shows high sensitivity and specificity compared with the previous reports on the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome. Furthermore, the values of median-second lumbrical motor latency alone have higher sensitivity and specificity, comparable with the median sensory conduction study across the wrist segment.
