Our new teachable moment series covers a range of different neuromuscular medicine topics in short videos. Catch up or relearn important neuromuscular medicine lessons with these videos we will release throughout the year.
Get a quick, practical walkthrough of the lumbrical–interosseous comparison study for carpal tunnel syndrome—how to perform it, how to interpret the latency differences, and when it can help you localize a median neuropathy at the wrist, even in severe cases.
OBJECTIVES: 1) Describe how to perform the lumbrical–interosseous comparison study, including basic electrode placement and stimulation distance; 2) identify the normal and abnormal latency relationships between the median and ulnar responses in the lumbrical–interosseous comparison study; 3) explain when the lumbrical–interosseous comparison study is especially helpful or not helpful in evaluating carpal tunnel syndrome.
