🧠 Advancing Neurodiagnostics: Optimizing Reference Electrode Placement in Ulnar Nerve Studies

Presenter: Salim Hirani (BCUHB, United Kingdom)
Presentation Type: Oral Presentation
Title: Placement of reference electrode position in motor nerveconduction study of ulnar nerve while recording from FDI


🔬 Presentation Highlights
Clinical Focus: Improving diagnostic accuracy in ulnar nerve entrapment at the wrist and elbow.
Challenge Addressed: Difficulty in reference electrode placement while recording from the First Dorsal Interosseous (FDI) muscle due to positive deflection.
Study Design: Nerve conduction studies performed on 46 hands using standardized departmental protocols.
Comparative Analysis: Reference electrode placement evaluated at five anatomical locations.
Key Findings:
– FDI tendon at digit II showed consistent positive deflection.
– Thumb placement elevated baseline, affecting distal motor latency accuracy.
ADM tendon at the base of digit V provided the clearest baseline and most reliable results with higher amplitude ranges.
Conclusion: Placement of the reference electrode at the ADM tendon (digit V) is the most reliable method for accurate motor nerve conduction studies of the ulnar nerve.
Clinical Impact: Supports standardized electrode placement and reinforces the need for normative data collection in neurophysiology practice.
