Motor Unit Number Estimation and Motor Unit Action Potential Analysis in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical significance of motor unit number estimation (MUNE) and quantitative analysis of motor unit action potential (MUAP) in carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) according to electrophysiologic severity, ultrasonographic measurement and clinical symptoms. METHOD We evaluated 78 wrists of 45 patients, who had been diagnosed with CTS and 42 wrists of 21 healthy controls. Me...

متن کاملThenar motor unit count estimates in the carpal tunnel syndrome.
Thenar motor unit counts were done in 19 subjects with symptoms characteristic of the carpal tunnel syndrome. Three-quarters of the patients had motor unit count estimates less than 2 SD lower limit of controls. Despite this, most did not have thenar wasting or weakness. Functional compensation by motor unit remodelling probably kept pace with motor axon loss and masked the true extent of axona...
متن کاملSpontaneous rhythmic motor unit potentials in the carpal tunnel syndrome.
In 18 out of 164 consecutive patients with carpal tunnel syndrome ongoing spontaneous rhythmic motor unit potentials were found in the lateral thenar muscles. The frequency ranged from 3 to 9 Hz with an average of 6 Hz. The spontaneous rhythmic motor unit potentials appeared to be doublets in many cases. Ischaemia usually caused a marked increase of spontaneous activity within 1 to 2 minutes. D...
متن کاملMotor-Unit Number Estimation Is Sensitive in Detecting Motor Nerve Involvement in Patients with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We compared the motor-unit number estimation (MUNE) findings in patients who presented with signs and/or findings associated with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) and healthy controls, with the aim of determining if motor-unit loss occurs during the clinically silent period and if there is a correlation between clinical and MUNE findings in CTS patients. METHODS The study i...
