Abstract Editor's Note: The following is a summary statement of the American Association of Electrodiagnostic Medicine's (AAEM) Practice Parameter for Electrodiagnostic Studies in Ulnar Neuropathy at the Elbow. This summary statement of the practice parameter was developed jointly by the Quality Assurance Committee of the AAEM and the Quality Standards Subcommittee of the American Academy of Neurology (AAN) and was endorsed by the AAN and the American Academy of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation. Ulnar neuropathy at the elbow (UNE) is a common peripheral mononeuropathy, second only to carpal tunnel syndrome in incidence. The electrodiagnostic evaluation of UNE is frequently complex and challenging to even the most experienced electrodiagnostic medicine consultant. This document defines the standards, guidelines, and options for electrodiagnostic studies of UNE based on a critical review of the literature. © 1999 American Association of Electrodiagnostic Medicine.
