ClinicalMotor nerve conduction panel Left median nerve
Definition
This panel contains the collection of terms that would be used to report the results of a motor nerve conduction study performed on the left median nerve. The panel should be repeated for each unique stimulation and recording site combination. For example, if a median nerve motor NCS includes stimulation at the wrist, elbow, and axilla, the panel would be repeated three times to record the results for each specific stimulation site.
