Nerve Conduction Study in Upper and Lower Limbs

Abstract

The study of distal latencies and nerve conduction velocity in  the norml

limbs  of 134 patients sent for electrodiagnosis at Srinagarind Hospital , 74 males and 60 females, mean age 34.19 years old , showed: 1 The mean motor distal latencies of median , ulnar, radial , common peroneal and posterior tibial nerves are 3.44 ±0.48 , 2.70 ± 0.42 , 1.76 ± 0.28 , 4.31 ± 0.77 , and 3.98 ± 0.74 msec. Respectivety  2. The mean motor nerve conduction velocities of median ,ulnar , radial , common peroneal and posterior tibial nerves are 58.68 ± 4.90 , 60.10 ± 4.86 , 59.78 ± 4.34 , 49.70 ± 4.37 and 49.38 ± 4.37 m / sec. Respectively 3. The mean sensory distal laten cies of median , ulnar and radial nerves are 3.24 ± 0.28 , 2.87 ± 0.30 and 2.12 ± 0.20 mesc. Respectively 4. The mean sensory nerve conduction velocities of median and ulnar nerves are 59.10 ± 4.42 and 60.16 ± 4.25 m / sec. Respectively.
