In this study we compared the specificity and sensitivity of a hand\u2010held NCS device for the detection of LSR with standard electrodiagnostic study (EDX). <jats:italic>Methods:<\/jats:italic> Fifty patients referred to a tertiary referral electromyography (EMG) laboratory for testing of predominantly unilateral leg symptoms (weakness, sensory complaints, and\/or pain) were included in the investigation. Twenty\u2010five normal \u201ccontrol\u201d subjects were later recruited to calculate the specificity of the automated protocol. All patients underwent standard EDX and automated testing. <jats:italic>Results:<\/jats:italic> Raw NCS data were comparable for both techniques; however, computer\u2010generated interpretations delivered by the automated device showed high sensitivity with low specificity (i.e., many false positives) in both symptomatic patients and normal controls. <jats:italic>Conclusions:<\/jats:italic> The automated device accurately recorded raw data, but the interpretations provided were overly sensitive and lacked the specificity necessary for a screening or diagnostic examination.
