Abstract
|
|
|
|
Ulnar nerve can be compressed at any level along its course, from axillae to wrist. Careful electrophysiologic studies provide an accurate diagnosis, help localize the lesion site, define the severity and pathophysiological process, identify unrecognized or subclinical disease, and exclude other diseases. This article discusses the electrodiagnostic approach to ulnar neuropathy. Pertinent aspects of the history and physical examination, anatomical consideration, electrodiagnostic tests for ulnar neuropathy at the wrist and the elbow are presented.
