[Value of electromyography in the XXXX (author's transl)].

@entity1 @entity1783 @entity531 @entity2850
Electromyogram studies were conducted in 55 @entity1 with the @entity531 , together with the motor nerve conduction velocity (M.N.C.V) in the median cubital nerves, between the @entity1783 's point and axilla and in the upper limb. Distal S.N.C.V. was measured in 19 cases. @entity2850 was confirmed in 29% of cases, with associated carpal canal compression in 22%. The proximal N.C.V. of the median and cubital in the neurological forms, and of the median in the neurovascular forms, were significantly different from normal values in 18 control subjects, but were not so in the vascular forms. Through E.M.G. examination cannot confirm the need for surgery it can supply supportive evidence. No correlation between the clinical course and the proximal N.C.V. was found in the 18 @entity1 seen after treatment (surgery in 13 cases).
