Estimation of Peripheral Nerve Conduction Velocity Distributions
A complete and accurate description of the conduction properties of the entire population of nerve fibers within a peripheral nerve bundle has long been an important objective of clinical neuromuscular electrophysiology. Access to such information would increase the sensitivity and specificity of neuromuscular electrodiagnostics, and provide improved means of assessing nerve development, growth...
متن کاملGenetic analysis of peripheral nerve conduction velocity in twins.
We studied variation in peripheral nerve conduction velocity (PNCV) and intelligence in a group of 16-year-old Dutch twins. It has been suggested that both brain nerve conduction velocity and PNCV are positively correlated with intelligence (Reed, 1984) and that heritable differences in NCV may explain part of the well established heritability of intelligence. The Standard Progressive Matrices ...
متن کاملImpairment of peripheral nerve in vibrating tool operators examined by nerve conduction velocity.
We studied the effects of vibration exposure on the peripheral nerve system by measuring and comparing motor nerve conduction velocity, sensory nerve conduction velocity and residual latency in 236 vibrating tool operators and 30 normal controls of the same age-distribution. In addition, thresholds of pain and vibratory sense were examined and subjective complaints were also determined by quest...
متن کاملEvaluation of Changes in Nerve Conduction Velocity in the Lower Limbs of Football Players
Background & Aims: Lower limbs’ nerves are exposed to mechanical injuries in athletes (e.g. football players), because of the excessive physical demand of their job. The objective of the present study was to evaluate the influence of regular and intense sports, such as football, on nerves in the lower leg. This study was conducted during 2006 to 2007 in the Shiraz Rehabilitation Faculty, Univer...
متن کاملEffect of parathyroid hormone and uremia on peripheral nerve calcium and motor nerve conduction velocity.
Peripheral neuropathy is not an uncommon complication of chronic uremia. Because parathyroid hormone, by raising brain calcium, is partly responsible for central nervous system aberrations in uremia, we studied the relative role of uremia, per se, and(or) parathyroid hormone on peripheral nerve calcium and motor nerve conduction velocity (MNCV). Studies were made in six groups of six dogs each,...
