Serial ulnar nerve conduction velocity measurements in normal subjects.

Serial ulnar nerve conduction velocity measurements in normal subjects.

Median and ulnar nerve conduction determinations in the Erb's point--axilla segment in normal subjects.

Twenty-one median and 22 ulnar nerves were tested in 12 patients for motor nerve conduction velocity (MNCV) and motor nerve conduction time (MNCT) in the segments from Erb's point (N) to axilla (A) bilaterally. It was found that on this segment for both nerves, MNCV values equal to or smaller than 51 m/s or conduction times equal to or longer than 4 ms are to be considered abnormal. For compara...

The effect of tubocurarine on ulnar nerve conduction velocity.

Nerve conduction velocity was studied in the ulnar nerve of human subjects during general anaesthesia. An increase in velocity of between 1.9 and 4.8 per cent occurred following the administration of paralytic doses of tubocurarine to subjects receiving nitrous oxide, oxygen and halothane anaesthesia in whom ventilation was controlled. This increase in velocity did not appear to be related to a...

F-wave Latency Conduction Velocity of the Ulnar Nerve among Normal Sudanese Adults

F-waves, one of the late responses produced by antidromic activation of Motoneurons by supramaximal stimulation, are one of the most frequently used studies in clinical neurophysiology. They are particularly useful for the diagnosis of proximal nerve lesions and have been found of use in diagnosis of certain types of peripheral neuropathy such as Guillian Barre Syndrome GBS, when other nerve co...

Normal ulnar nerve conduction velocity across the thoracic outlet: comparison of two measuring techniques.

Comparison of ulnar nerve conduction across the thoracic outlet in 30 normal individuals using caliper and steel tape measurements is reported. A difference of 11.3 m/s was noted between the two methods (58.9 +/- 4.20 m/s by caliper; 70.2 +/- 5.20 m/s by tape). Comparison of these values with previous studies and the use of the opposite limb as a control are discussed. This procedure is of clin...
