Pathophysiology of Peripheral Nerve Injury

Details

• Personal Author:
  Barbe MF ; Barr AE
• Description:
  Neuropathies can result from mechanical trauma, such as shear or compressive forces on the nerve, particularly if repeated, and have been linked to the following risk factors: gender (female), advanced age, and reduced fitness. Patients with median nerve neuropathy report symptoms such as pain in the hands and wrists or fingers that may travel into the forearm, elbow, and shoulder; paresthesias; numbness; and weakness. An objective diagnosis of median nerve dysfunction is typically based on electrophysiological evidence of slowed median nerve conduction localized to the wrist, although the combination of electrodiagnostic findings and symptom characteristics is reported to provide the most accurate diagnosis of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS).
