Nerve conduction velocity shows normal amplitude, normal distal latency and slightly slow conduction velocity with prolonged F-wave tminimal latency. The left ulnar nerve shows normal amplitude, normal distal latency and slow conduction velocity across the elbow segment with prolonged F-wave minimal latency. Sensory nerve conduction studies of the left median nerve shows low amplitude, prolonged peak latency and slightly slow conduction velocity. The left ulnar nerve shows borderline amplitude, prolonged peak latency and slow conduction velocity. Needle EMG examination L.Deltoid, L. Bicepts L. C6 C7 PSP, L C8,T1 paraspinals are normal.

Questions: Has an Ulnar nerve entrapment been demonstrated. Has slight carpel tunnel been demonstrated by these studies. Or a Conduction block?
