includes 11 subjects with baseline study performed prior to initial nerve ultrasound.

**

Demyelinating features of motor nerve conduction studies include: conduction block, very slowed conduction velocity, very prolonged distal latency, or increased temporal dispersion.21 One subject (#23) with absent electrodiagnostic reponses was excluded.

All values median (range) unless otherwise specified.
