Arm Length—Does It Influence Late Response in a Nerve Conduction Study?

Abstract Background F wave response, a late response obtained from motor nerve, can be influenced by various external factors like gender, temperature, height, weight, and limb length, hence it causes variation in the measured parameters. Since very few studies have studied impact of arm length on wave, this study was conducted to analyze relation between parameters consider importance during conduct nerve conduction study. Methods The among 40 healthy individuals diabetics with neuropathy. upper limbs both groups recorded following conventional procedure using standardized instrument. Results This showed that groups, there existed positive correlation for certain minimum, maximum mean latencies, persistence, FM latency M latency, negative chronodispersion. Conclusion should adjusted improve sensitivity diagnostic ability neurological testing.
