Development of a Systematic Protocol for Identifying the Presence and Location of Nerve Entrapment in the Upper Extremity

Abstract

Abstract Date Presented 04/02/2022 Nerve entrapment syndromes are among the most common types of clinical neuropathy. Frequent misdiagnosis of these conditions has been identified in the literature. This study explored emerging methods used in the assessment of upper extremity nerve entrapments. A systematic protocol was developed on the basis of these advanced techniques. The protocol was implemented by upper extremity specialists, and a descriptive survey was conducted to gain insight into the benefits of the protocol.
