This atlas systematically reviews sensory conduction studies of the median nerve from pilot
human studies in peripheral nerve conduction during the 1950s through to the most recent
scientific evidence. Descriptions are provided of a wealth of sensory nerve conduction
techniques that were reproduced in the laboratory including both the originally proposed
methods and variants. The methods are organized according to practical criteria for ease of
reference. Attention is focused especially on those techniques which have shown higher
sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of compressive mononeuropathies like carpal tunnel
syndrome (CTS) and on the most widely accepted guidelines recommendations quality measures
and electrodiagnostic classifications. A detailed well-illustrated glossary explains the more
commonly used terms in electrodiagnostic medicine (EDX). The book is primarily intended for
residents and professionals in Neurology as well as rehabilitation physicians and clinical
neurophysiologists. The detailed descriptions of techniques and their practical use will also
make the book an invaluable tool for novices and clinical neurophysiology technicians.novices
