Abstract

Objective: We aim to analyze the effects of gender and age on antidromic median nerve distal sensory onset latency (mDSOL) and action potential (mSNAP) amplitude over wrist-to-second finger segment, and also searches whether the usage of a stratified cut off points chart reduces the misdiagnosis rate on mDSOL measurements on carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) or not.
