Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Electrodiagnostic testing	30 minutes	Electrodiagnostic testing (electromyography and nerve conduction velocity) can objectively verify the tibial nerve dysfunction. Electrodiagnosis rests upon demonstrating impaired tibial nerve conduction across the tarsal tunnel in context of normal conduction. Compression results in damage to the myelin sheath and manifests as delayed latencies and slowed conduction velocities
