Brief Answer:
Nerve Conduction Tests usually measure the functions of the nerves.

Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir

Typing Errors are very common. And these days, auto correct changes the spelling. There is no need to apologise for this

Coming to your question "dose the "nerve" test show any parts of the shoulder area? Or is it just the elbow and wrist area? Could you please explain what these test mean?"

I would once again request you to please specify what you mean by "Nerve Tests"

In case you are asking about Nerve Conduction Tests. Nerve Conduction Tests usually measure the functions of the nerves. They are independent of Elbow, Wrist, Shoulder etc.

If you need any clarification / have doubts / have additional questions / have follow up questions, then please do not hesitate in asking them. I will be happy to answer your questions.
