“Inching” Study (short segment stimulation)
• Perform when routine ulnar motor studies reveal an abnormality in the elbow region
• Begin at below elbow stimulation site and stimulate across elbow at 2 cm intervals
• Measure distance of each stimulation site in relation to G1 and medial epicondyle
• Graph individual traces and assess for amplitude (conduction block) or latency changes (focal slowing)

Ulnar Neuropathy at the Elbow
• Most common site of ulnar neuropathy
• Two major areas of abnormality:
• condylar groove
• cubital tunnel
• EDX studies can help with localization
![Page 49: What Would You Do? EMG Cases - AANEM](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022012800/61b5d72ce54998117874e004/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)

• 19 yo male with gradual onset of painless weakness in the right arm, followed a few weeks later by left arm weakness, trouble focusing but no diplopia or ptosis, and the head drop. At the same time he began to lose weight, dropping from 115 to 99 pounds, having to eat slowly because of arm weakness. Within a few weeks swallowing became labored. The legs then became involved. Within several weeks he could not longer shower nor brush his teeth, nor make a sandwich unassisted.
• PMH: none
• Exam: marked atrophic and flaccid bulbar, neck flexor and extensor as well as upper extremity weakness with mild to moderate scattered lower extremity weakness (Neuropathy Impairment Score 87)
• Labs: CBC, B12, fasting glucose, HbA1c, LFTs , sTSH, CK, ENA antibodies: normal; SPEP/IEP: IgM kappa MGUS; antiMAG 1:20,000; CSF protein 70 mg/dL
