Integrated area measurement may aid conduction block identification in compression neuropathy; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before practice change.
Does integrated area measurement of the proximal CMAP improve the distinction between conduction block and temporal dispersion compared to amplitude measurement in compression neuropathy?
Integrated area measurement of CMAP provides more accurate identification of conduction block in compression neuropathy than amplitude measurement alone.
