| Abstract |
Mathematical comparison of the results of electromyographic examination (orthodromic and antidromic stimulation of ulnar nerve motor and sensory fibres) of 40 vibration-exposed workers and 40 controls showed wrist-finger conduction velocity (5-cm standard distance) to be lower in exposed workers. This is in agreement with clinical findings. Sensitivity defects, regularly found in clinical examination, are often followed by motor disorders. The antidromic stimulation technique is considered very sensitive for studying the course of vibration-induced ulnar nerve lesions. |
