Electrophysiologic findings and grip strength after nerve injuries in the rat forelimb.

abstract：INTRODUCTION:Premotor potentials (PMPs) precede compound muscle action potentials evoked from the second lumbrical muscle after median nerve stimulation. Although PMP has been identified as a median sensory nerve action potential, few reports have documented the significance of PMP parameters for diagnosing carpal tunn...
