A diagnostic test for carpal tunnel syndrome using ultrasound.
The paper describes the details of an ultrasound test for carpal tunnel syndrome and compares the results of this with E.M.G. studies in a series of 19 patients. The equipment used was a standard therapeutic ultrasound unit and the tests were performed by a physiotherapist. The results were encouraging, with a 90% correlation with E.M.G. results.
