Study type
ObservationalDescribes the nature of a clinical study. Types include:
- Observational study — observes people and measures outcomes without affecting results.
- Interventional study (clinical trial) — studies new tests, treatments, drugs, surgical procedures or devices.

Inclusion Criteria:
- Clinical history of generalized or arm symptoms
- No history of upper extremity mononeuropathy (e.g. carpal tunnel syndrome, ulnar neuropathy, or radial neuropathy) or cervical radiculopathy
- No history of surgery involving the ulnar nerve (e.g. nerve transposition)
- Normal motor and sensory examination of the upper extremities
- Normal routine EMG (nerve conduction studies and needle examination, including needle examination of the FDI)
- Age > 18 years
Exclusion Criteria:
- Findings of other neuromuscular process on EMG (median neuropathy,ulnar neuropathy, radial neuropathy, brachial plexopathy, C8-T1 radiculopathy, myopathy, motor neuron disease, peripheral neuropathy, etc.)
- Previous ulnar nerve surgery
