title: Sensory conduction studies in the early recognition of nerve disorders.
abstract: Early investigations into sensory conduction are reviewed and related to recent and ongoing research, specifically with relation to the early detection of nerve disorders. Current study on entrapment neuropathies and on the assessment of minor sensory conduction changes is presented. It is concluded that, in the early recognition of nerve disease, the clinical orientation of the electromyographer is essential to proper test interpretation.
