Assessment method tracks structural changes in the median nerve in healthy and neuromuscular-condition-affected children, suggesting improved evaluation techniques.
Background/Purpose: The assessment of peripheral nerves in children remains challenging. Cross-sectional area (CSA) of nerves changes significantly during development and in conditions like Type 1 diabetes (T1D) and spinal muscular atrophy (SMA). Current ultrasound techniques are limited to single-point measurements at one to three locations, limiting comprehensive evaluation of nerve morphology.[1] We aim to develop a physician-guided method for comprehensive median nerve assessment that enables tracking of structural changes along the nerve in healthy children and those with neuromuscular conditions.
