“…A significant NCV reduction was observed only in the FAST group (2 bouts: 78%, 3 bouts: 78%, 4 bouts: 42%). NCV is a primary indicator of chronic and traumatic nerve damage . Peripheral nerve tissue is easily damaged by direct/indirect stresses through continuous compressions and entrapment, such as that seen in patients with sports injuries and disease .…”

“…In general, overuse injuries are thought to result from the accumulation of microtraumas . For example, Colak et al reported that nerve conduction is impaired due to nerve compression by a repetitive racket‐swinging motion.…”

“…For example, Colak et al reported that nerve conduction is impaired due to nerve compression by a repetitive racket‐swinging motion. According to their data, the brachial plexus nerves become entrapped and damaged in active high‐level ice hockey players . Apparently, the brachial plexus nerves (axillary, musculocutaneous, and radial) become strangulated by surrounding muscles.…”

“…Side-to-side NCV differences were observed in all of the athletes who experienced hamstring strain injuries in the INJ group. PL, DL, and NCV measurements are used to assess nerve function in a variety of temporal nerve functional impairments and injuries [3,7,11]. In this study, the PL was significantly longer in the INJ group (▶Fig.…”

“…It is generally known that the risk factors for HSI are mainly categorized according to non-modifiable factors (age, previous HSI, and/or ethnic origin) and modifiable factors (fatigue, strength imbalances, and/or early return to sports) [2,17,19]. Colak et al reported that the peripheral nerves of the upper extremities of ice hockey players are exposed to acute and chronic mechanical motions, such as the racket swing [7]. In their study, conductive time of the brachial plexus was 6 % prolonged in athletes compared with non-athlete controls.…”

Sciatic Nerve Conductivity is Impaired by Hamstring Strain Injuries

The aim of this study was to assess sciatic nerve conductivity in athletes with a history of hamstring strain injuries. Twenty-seven athletes with a history of hamstring strain injuries were included in the injured group. The control group consisted of 16 uninjured participants. We measured the proximal and distal latencies and calculated the sciatic nerve conduction velocity to evaluate neuronal conductivity. The results were expressed as median values and interquartile ranges. Both proximal latency and distal latency of the injured limb in the injured group were significantly longer than those of the uninjured limb (p<0.05). The nerve conduction velocity of the injured limb in the injured group was significantly lower than that of the uninjured limb (p<0.05). There were no significant side-to-side differences in the control group. Sciatic nerve conductivity impairments may exist in athletes with a history of hamstring strain injuries.

Recent literature has highlighted altered spinal-reflex excitability following acute lateral ankle sprain (ALAS), yet there is little information on the conduction velocity of spinal reflex pathways (CV-SRP) in these patients. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the effects of ALAS on the CV-SRP. We employed a cross-sectional study with two groups: ALAS (n = 30) and healthy controls (n = 30). The CV-SRP of the soleus, fibularis longus, and tibialis anterior was assessed using the H-index method. As secondary outcomes, H-reflex and M-wave latencies were assessed as well as acute symptoms including ankle swelling, pain, and self-reported ankle function. Separate group-by-limb ANOVA with repeated measures revealed a significant interaction for soleus CV-SRP (p < 0.001) and H-reflex latency (p < 0.001), showing significant slower CV-SRP and longer H-reflex latency in the involved limb of the ALAS group compared with both limbs in the control group. However, there was no significant interaction or main effect in any other ankle muscles (p > 0.05). A further correlation analysis showed a significant relationship between CV-SRP and acute symptoms, including ankle swelling (r = −0.37, p = 0.048) and self-reported ankle function (r = 0.44, p = 0.017) in ALAS patients. These results suggest a disrupted functionality of the afferent pathway and/or synaptic transmission following ALAS. Level of Evidence: 4.
