Role of concentric needle Single Fiber Electromyography in detection of subclinical motor involvement in carpal tunnel syndrome

Abstract Background Conventional motor nerve conduction studies are usually normal in early and mild carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Single-fiber electromyography (SFEMG) measures the mean consecutive difference (MCD) as an expression of the variability in impulse transmission over the motor endplates...
