Study Design
• EMG Lab at Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston
• 150
Symptomatic Subjects
• DML & F-wave measurements were recorded
by a neurologist and the NC-stat System
Key Results
• Correlation of the NC-stat DML to the neurologist DML was 0.94
• Sensitivity
86%; Specificity 90% for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• Diagnostic Accuracy
of 0.96 (area under ROC curve) for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome as determined
by a neurologist
