Ulnar NCS
I came across the above normative values (see hyperlink above) and appreciate the new acceptable CV drop for the Ulnar nerve across the elbow as at least 15m/s or 23% drop in CV. This was introduced in the Spring meeting.
However,
Is the absolute value of less than 43m/s across the elbow significant as quoted in the normative value chart ? Even if there is no significant drop in CV in comparision to below / above the elbow (i.e. a drop of less that 15m/s) ?

I enjoy participating in the AANEM Connect Forum for a number of reasons. There are very fundamental questions posed on a frequent basis that cause me to pause and ask myself, ‘Why didn’t I think of that?’ Also, I continue to learn new things when others contribute their thoughts and experiences. Connect is an excellent opportunity for members to interact and to address any topic, including those that may not be discussed at an annual meeting or journal article.
