Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

This article presents the significance of an assessment of several moderate to severe degrees of spinal stenosis by MRI imaging, supported by electrodiagnostic tests such as nerve conduction testing (NCS) and electromyography (EMG).

To authors.

Please put the data in the appropriate lines in table 1

Please complete the EMG methodology in more detail.

The correlation between spinal stenosis and electrodiagnostic results can be used to support the importance of the additional electrodiagnostic tests used.
