Résumé |
This article reviews quantitative testing and thermography and their use. Magnetic stimulation is discussed briefly. Each of these techniques have shortcomings including difficulties with assessment of demyelination, lesion localization, and prognosis of car-pal tunnel syndrome. Only electrodiagnosis fully assesses these symptoms and the current literature does not support the use of alternative diagnostic tests.
