Ulnar nerve at the elbow – normative nerve conduction study

Abstract: IntroductionA goal of our work was to perform nerve conduction studies (NCSs) of the ulnar nerve focused on the nerve conduction across the elbow on a sufficiently large cohort of healthy subjects in order to generate reliable reference data.MethodsWe examined the ulnar nerve in a position with the elbow flexion of 90o from horizontal. Motor response was recorded from the abductor digiti minimi muscle (ADM) and the first dorsal interosseous muscle (FDI).ResultsIn our sample of 227 healthy volunteers we have ex… Show more

“…This methodology gave results well comparable for registration from the abductor digiti minimi muscle [4]. It can be assumed that the absence of sensitive potentials reflects both time dispersion and axon loss.…”

“…Previous studies dealing with limb dominance supports this limitation. 5 The effect of handedness on nerve conduction was not much clear. 6 Thus, NCS data obtained were interpreted in reference to limb dominance (handedness).…”

“…Os PACMs registrados nos nervos ulnar e tibial apresentaram valores de amplitude, latência e velocidade de condução dentro da faixa de valores esperados de acordo com trabalhos similares que realizaram a avaliação do mesmo nervo [8,10,11]. É importante notar que para obtenção de valores válidos em um ECN, é necessário que o estímulo seja supramáximo, o que garante que a amplitude da resposta tenha um valor máximo.…”
