Background:

Ulnar neuropathy at the elbow is a common condition affecting nerve function.
Accurate assessment of nerve function and lesion sites is crucial for effective treatment.

Purpose of the Study:

To measure neuromagnetic fields of the ulnar nerve at the elbow using electrical stimulation.
To evaluate ulnar nerve function and detect conduction disturbances with high spatial resolution.

Main Methods:

Utilized a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometer system.
Recorded neuromagnetic fields after electrical stimulation at the wrist in healthy volunteers and patients.
Processed signals into current distributions superimposed onto X-ray images for visualization.

Main Results:

Established reference values for conduction velocity and current amplitude attenuation in healthy subjects.
Detected lesion sites in 15 out of 21 patient limbs with measurable signals.
Identified conduction disturbances in 5 limbs that appeared normal via conventional nerve conduction studies.

Conclusions:

Magnetoneurography enables visualization of neurophysiological activity in ulnar neuropathy.
This technique is valuable for evaluating conduction disturbances and pinpointing lesion sites.
Magnetoneurography shows promise as a tool for assessing ulnar neuropathy at the elbow.
