Question of Medial Antebrachial Cutaneous (MAC) vs Median mixed sensory (elbow to wrist or Digit II)
One of the techs here posed a question regarding the MAC and median mixed sensory nerve.
Years ago, I *think* I remember someone (maybe Dr. Dumitru?) at a maybe(?) AANEM meeting mention that when testing the MAC that it is possible to record the median mixed sensory instead. Is that correct? If yes, how do you avoid recording from the median mixed sensory when stimulating the MAC?
Can someone answer that one for me?

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.
