O-2-28. Vulnerability of each branch of median nerve in carpal tunnel syndrome

It is widely believed that sensory conduction study (SCS) is more sensitive than motor conduction study (MCS) in carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). However, the sensitivity depends not only on the vulnerability of each branch of the median nerve, but on measurement errors and cut-off values. In this study, we aimed to clarify the true vulnerability of each branch in CTS. Subjects consisted of 144 CTS patients and 66 controls. The impairment of a branch was defined as the prolongation of onset latency.
