Question 1 of 29👑 VIP
A 52-year-old woman presents with numbness and tingling in the thumb, index, and middle fingers that is worse at night and partially relieved by shaking her hand. Nerve conduction studies reveal prolonged median sensory peak latency of 4.8 ms at the wrist (normal < 3.5 ms), reduced median sensory amplitude of 8 µV, and normal ulnar sensory latency and amplitude. Median motor distal latency is 5.1 ms (normal < 4.2 ms) with preserved CMAP amplitude. Which finding most definitively localizes this lesion to the carpal tunnel?
