[72] This, however, does not detract from the fact that Ebenbichler et al[54] reported a difference in outcome for those treated with ultrasound (outcome measures provided: subjective symptom score for main complaint and sensory loss; electroneurographic measurements of median motor nerve distal latency, antidromic sensory nerve conduction rate, and peak-to-peak amplitude; and physical function levels, including strength of handgrip and of finger pinch).
Motor responses were orthodromic, whereas sensory responses were antidromic.
This behavior results because large-amplitude electrical current stimulates both efferent fibers and la afferent fibers; the Ia afferent nerve fibers conduct the reflex wave faster than the antidromic signal is conducted in the alpha motoneuron fibers.
