In the present study, the thenar muscles were evaluated using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), in addition, the correlations between thenar muscle changes, clinical findings and electrodiagnostic results from patients with carpal tunnel syndrome were investigated. The subjects were 13 patients (17 wrists) who were clinically diagnosed with carpal tunnel syndrome. In all patients, a medical his...

Electrodiagnostic data have not been previously reported in tabes dorsalis. A patient with tabes dorsalis is described whose nerve conduction studies and median nerve somatosensory evoked responses (SEPs) were normal. H-reflexes were absent. SEPs of the tibial nerve suggested posterior column dysfunction. These electrodiagnostic findings correlate precisely with the known pathology of tabes dor...

We describe the clinical and electrodiagnostic features of 8 infants who showed no visual responsiveness and were thought to be severely visually impaired on initial examination. Subsequently all children developed normal visual capabilities and the previously abnormal visually evoked potentials became normal. The clinical and electrodiagnostic features of these infants suggest that they suffer...

Lambert Eaton myasthenic syndrome is a presynaptic neuromuscular junction disorder, which has unique features on electrodiagnostic testing. Here we describe a middle aged lady with symmetric, progressive, areflexic weakness in lower limbs, who had the typical electrodiagnostic findings of diffuse attenuation of motor amplitudes, and increase in these amplitudes after brief exercise of the muscl...

BACKGROUND Lumbar disc herniation is a problem frequently encountered in manual medicine. While manual therapy has shown reasonable success in symptomatic management of these cases, little information is known how manual therapy may affect the structure and function of the lumbar disc itself. In cases where lumbar disc herniation is accompanied by radicular symptoms, electrodiagnostic testing h...
