Abstract
56 patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) with 84 hands affected were investigated. All patients were assessed clinically and electromyographically in order to find out whether there is a correlation between clinical signs and/or symptoms and the EMG data. A highly significant correlation was found between sensory deficit (hypoesthesia to touch and/or pain) and the amplitude of SAP and a significant correlation between motor deficits (weakness and/or atrophy) and distal motor latency. Sono stati esaminati 56 pazienti con Sindrome Tunnel Carpale (CTS), per un totale di 84 mani. Ciascun paziente è stato valutato clinicamente ed elettromiograficamente. L'esame clinico mirava ad evidenziare la presenza di deficit sensitivi e motori e rilevare la presenza di altre patologie. Lo scopo del nostro studio è stato quello di valutare l'esistenza di una correlazione tra sintomi e/o segni clinici e dati elettromiografici. È stata rilevata una correlazione particolarmente significantiva tra deficit sensitivo (ipoestesia tattile e/o dolorifica) e ampiezza del SAP e inoltre tra la comparsa di deficit motori (ipostenia) e/o atrofia e la latenza distale motoria.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
