Reliability of nerve conduction studies among active workers
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1999-10)
Nerve conduction studies play an important role in clinical practice and research. Given their widespread use, reliability of tests merits careful attention. We assessed interexaminer and intraexaminer reliability of median ...
The relationship between body mass index and the diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 1994-06)
Increased weignt and, more recently, body mass index (BMI), have been suggested as risk factors for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). In an effort to determine the relative risk (RR) of obesity in the development of CTS, 949 ...
Absence of sensory neuropathy among workers with occupational exposure to chlorpyrifos
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2004-05)
Several studies have reported the occurrence of sensory neuropathy with exposure to chlorpyrifos and other organophosphorus insecticides, at levels not associated with overt toxicity. We evaluated 113 chemical workers, ...
Median and ulnar nerve conduction studies among workers: Normative values
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 1998-08)
To determine normative values for nerve conduction studies among workers, we selected a subset of 326 workers from 955 subjects who participated in medical surveys in the workplace. The reference cohort was composed ...
Prolonged median sensory latency as a predictor of future carpal tunnel syndrome
(John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2001-11)
The purpose of the study was to determine whether abnormal median sensory nerve conduction among asymptomatic workers was predictive of future symptoms suggestive of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). This was a prospective ...
Effect of aging on sensory nerve conduction study parameters
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2004-05)
Research evaluating the changes in nerve conduction with time has been limited to cross-sectional studies. We present a cohort study estimating how sensory nerve conduction study (NCS) parameters change with time when ...
