Abstract Objective: To examine the sensorial electromyographic (EMG) changes in median nerve (MN) due to the presence of the palmaris longus (PL) muscle. Methodology: After examining the presence/absence of PL in the dominant hand of 234 individuals with Schaeffer, Thompson, Pushpakumar and Mishra’s clinical tests, EMG measurements were made for all. Group 1 consisted of 177 individuals without PL and Group 2 of 57 individuals with PL. All were evaluated for carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Of 234 people, 38 had CTS, and 6 of them did not have PL, while 32 had PL. Results: There was no statistical difference between the two groups in terms of MN conduction velocity and latency (p>0.05). There was no difference in sensorial EMG values between individuals with and without PL in individuals with CTS (p>0.05). Conclusion: The presence or absence of the PL muscle did not make a difference in the MN sensory EMG values. Key words: Palmaris longus, median nerve, electromyography.   ARTICLE TOOLS Abstract PDF Fulltext How to cite this article Citation Tools Related Records   Articles by Mustafa Şahin on Google on Google Scholar How to Cite this Article Pubmed Style Mustafa Şahin.
