Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze the electrodiagnostic findings of wrist drop cases, considering factors such as gender, side of injury, and whether the individuals were military or civilian.
- Conducted over 16 months, the research included 119 patients, primarily young males (81.5%) and military personnel (80.7%), with the most common cause identified as radial nerve injury at the mid-arm level.
- Most injuries were due to trauma, specifically fractures of the humerus, and the data indicated that these injuries occurred more frequently in males and on the right side of the body.
Progressive muscle atrophy is a rare subtype of motor neuron disease that affects only the lower motor neurons and presents as asymmetrical rapidly progressive muscle weakness, atrophy and normal sensations. The diagnostic electrophysiological findings are denervation potentials in three out of four body segments (bulbar, cervical, thoracic and lumbosacral). The disease is fatal and the management is supportive.
