Abstract

DHIA DDIN R., SERHEED  and  MARTINEZ SUAREZ, REMBERTO. Diagnosis and electromyographic prognosis during the rehabilitation of the radial nerve injuries. Rev Cubana Ortop Traumatol [online]. 1998, vol.12, n.1-2, pp. 40-46. ISSN 1561-3100.

A prospective study of 14 patients with radial nerve injuries was carried out. These injuries were clinical and electromyographically studied during the first 4 months with evolution at the 6th and 8th month of rehabilitative treatment. A correlation was found between the clinical and the electromiographical findings, but not between the clinical follow-up and the results of nerve conduction. Better results were obtained among those patients who began the treatment earlier, mainly when they cooperated adequately.
