Nerve Conduction

 

                                             On 24/12/2020 i dealt with Nerve Conduction Studies 

Nerve Conduction depends upon Diameter of nerve fiber and Myelination 

Nerve Conduction Studies measure Nerve Conduction 

Used clinically to assess

Four determinants of Nerve Conduction Studies 

Motor Nerve Conduction Velocity/Motor Latency

Sensory nerve Conduction/Sensory Latency

Motor Nerve Conduction 

Active Electrode Over Muscle Belly

Reference Electrode Over Muscle Tendon 

Needle recording electrodes in Deep Muslces 

Nerve Conduction in Distal and Proximal Electrodes are measured

Normal Motor Conduction Values

Sensory Nerve Conduction 

Motor and Sensory Latencies

Increase in Latencies suggest Entrapment Syndrome and Peripheral Neuropathy
