Comparison of median nerve conduction parameters from the index and middle fingers in carpal tunnel syndrome: Toward a standardized electrophysiological evaluation protocol

Middle finger peak latency outperformed index finger recordings and interdigit latency comparisons in diagnosing CTS. Adding middle finger peak latency and interdigit latency difference to standard electrodiagnostic protocols improves early detection and classification of the syndrome.

Abstract

Middle finger peak latency outperformed index finger recordings and interdigit latency comparisons in diagnosing CTS. Adding middle finger peak latency and interdigit latency difference to standard electrodiagnostic protocols improves early detection and classification of the syndrome.
