title: Motor root conduction block in traumatic brachial plexopathy.
abstract: A 31-year old man sustained severe left brachial plexus traction injury. Electrical stimulation demonstrated multilevel motor root conduction block, which reversed after a 4-month period. Motor root conduction studies are useful diagnostic and prognostic adjuncts in the management of brachial plexopathy.
