Saphenous nerve conduction in healthy subjects.

Median nerve F wave conduction in healthy subjects over age sixty-five.

Parameters of the median nerve F wave and peripheral motor nerve conduction in 51 healthy male and female human subjects 67 to 89 years of age are described. F wave responses were elicited by stimulation of the nerve at the wrist. Motor nerve conduction velocity (MNCV) was determined for the forearm segment. Major results of this study of an older group of subjects demonstrate that: 1) the shor...

Impact of anthropmetric measures on sural nerve conduction in healthy subjects.

BACKGROUND Nerve conduction studies are an invaluable aid to investigate and quantify the physiological activity of peripheral nerves. These include measurement of sensory and motor conduction velocities and latencies of peripheral nerves. These nerve conduction parameters may be affected by anthropometric factors like age, sex, height, weight and BMI. In this observational study the impact of ...

Serial ulnar nerve conduction velocity measurements in normal subjects.

Median Nerve Conduction in Healthy Nigerians: Normative Data

BACKGROUND Because of lack of local normative data, electrodiagnostic laboratories in Nigeria apply standard values generated in the USA and Europe to diagnose different median nerve abnormalities. AIM To develop normative values for motor and sensory median nerve conduction studies (NCSs) in Nigerian population. SUBJECTS AND METHODS In a cross-sectional study design, a total of 200 healthy...

Effects of demographic and physical factors on nerve conduction study values of healthy subjects in a multi-ethnic Asian population.

INTRODUCTION We investigated the effects of demographic and physical factors on nerve conduction studies (NCS) in a multi-ethnic Asian population. METHODS One hundred sixty-six healthy Malaysians of different ethnicities (51.2% women, aged 21-77 years) underwent NCS using a standard protocol. Correlations of various factors to NCS were determined, and multiple linear regression analysis was u...
