Refining the Interpretation of the Tinel's Sign for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: An Electromyographic and Nerve Conduction Velocity Study
Status: Unknown
Location: See location...
Intervention Type: Diagnostic test
Study Type: Observational
SUMMARY
This is an observational study to investigate the electromyographic (EMG) activity and nerve conduction velocity (NCV) of healthy individuals during the Tinel's Sign performed at different wrist positions. The study aims to identify the wrist position that best isolates median nerve activity during the Tinel's Sign.
