“…Regression analysis showed that there was not a significant adjusted effect of height on different SNAP parameters in multiple linear regression analysis by controlling the other assessed factors (i.e., age, gender, and other anthropometric measures). These were in accordance with Sajadi et al and in agreement with previous studies [6,14,28,29]. The SNAP CV is affected by the height of the subjects in the nerve conduction studies of the lower limbs [27].…”

“…Regression analysis showed that there was not a significant adjusted effect of gender on different SNAP parameters in multiple linear regression analysis by controlling the other assessed factors (i.e., age and different anthropometric measures). These were in accordance with previous studies [4,6], as well as previous studies which assessed other nerves as ulnar palmar cutaneous nerve, medial antebrachial cutaneous nerve, and lateral antebrachial cutaneous nerve [14,19,20]. But, these were not in accordance with that reported in the literature [21][22][23][24].…”

“…Regression analysis showed that there was no significant adjusted effect of weight and BMI on different SNAP parameters in multiple linear regression analysis by controlling the other assessed factors (i.e., age, gender, and other anthropometric measures). These were in agreement with Sajadi et al regarding the effect of BMI on SNAP OL, PL, and CV, but it was not in accordance with them regarding the SNAP amplitude [6]. This could be due to differences in demographic characters of their participated subjects who were older with a higher percentage of men than in the current study, as well as, the difference in the electrophysiological technique applied in the current study and that applied by Sajadi et al [6].…”

“…Each SNAP is followed by a large volume-conducted motor potential of the forearm extensor muscles [4,6]. This could be due to the differences in the gender distribution and the applied electrophysiological technique between these two studies and the current study [4,6]. The influence of age usually appears at the extremity of age [2,27].…”

Backgrounds Posterior antebrachial cutaneous nerve sensory conduction study is clinically essential for the assessment of its integrity and for the localization of radial nerve lesions. The aim of the study was to assess posterior antebrachial cutaneous nerve sensory antidromic conduction technique and to obtain normal reference values for different sensory nerve action potential parameters of this nerve among a sample of Egyptian population. Results The current study included 120 upper limbs of 60 apparently healthy subjects [35 (58.3%) women]. Their mean age was 39.20 ± 11.95 years. The posterior antebrachial cutaneous nerve was recorded in all upper limbs (100%). The values (mean ± standard deviation) for the posterior antebrachial cutaneous nerve sensory nerve action potential onset latency were 2.05 ± 0.25 ms, peak latency was 2.63 ± 0.28 ms, conduction velocity was 60.50 ± 5.38 m/s, amplitude was 11.04 ± 4.26 μV, and inter-side sensory nerve action potential amplitude ratio was 0.69 ± 0.17. There were no statistically significant differences between men and women, as well as between right and left upper limbs regarding different posterior antebrachial cutaneous sensory nerve action potential parameters. There were no statistically significant correlations between participants’ age and anthropometric measures (i.e., height, weight, and body mass index) with different posterior antebrachial cutaneous nerve sensory nerve action potential parameters. There were no statistically significant adjusted effects of age, gender, and anthropometric measures on different posterior antebrachial cutaneous nerve sensory nerve action potential parameters in multiple linear regression analysis by controlling all other physiologic factors. Conclusions This research provides an applicable electrophysiological technique and normal reference values for the posterior antebrachial cutaneous nerve sensory conduction study.

“…6 Using the same reference data in patients with different gender may result in errors in reporting and hence need to have separate refrence data for both sexes for clinical purpose. 7,8 The present study was therefore designed to gather reference data for healthy male and female students in Bathinda district, by doing nerve conduction study medical students of Adesh Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Bathinda, having no exposure to forceful or repetitive hand exertions, or segmental vibration. While some studies have excluded subjects with peripheral nerve disease, 9,10 but no study has specified the occupations of their subjects or excluded population with low exposure to known occupational Section: Physiology risk factors for carpal tunnel syndrome such as force, repetitiveness, and vibration.…”

Introduction: Normative data of Nerve conduction study (NCS) are used to evaluate Nerve conduction study of patients presenting with signs and symptoms of peripheral nerve disease. The Nerve conduction velocity depends on age, gender, temperature and nerve diameter. The study was done to observe the effect of the cerebral dominance if any on the motor nerve conduction velocity by recording nerve conduction velocity of both right and left sides in upper limb. Material and Methods: The nerve conduction study was done on 100 medical students (50 male and 50 female) studying in Adesh Institute of Medical Science sand Research, Bathinda. Motor nerve conduction for Median nerve was done using computerized software Octopus EMG/NCV/EP. Amplitude, duration and conduction velocity of Median Nerve were measured for both the upper limbs. Results: Motor nerve conduction velocity of Median Nerve was found to be greater in right limb (56.87 ± 3.6 m/s and 57.5 ± 3.35 m/s) as compared to left limb (56.33 ± 3.53 m/s and 56.97 ± 3.48 m/s) in both male and female students but the results were statistically non-significant (p>0.05). The latency of median nerve conduction was less in females (2.65± 0.24 ms and 2.75± 0.32 m/s) than in males (2.71± 0.27ms and 2.78± 0.32 m/s) on both sides. Conclusion: Motor nerve conduction velocity was found to be greater in right limb as compared to left limb in both males and females Motor nerve conduction velocity was found to be more in female students as compared to male students.

A novel method to measure sensory nerve conduction of the posterior antebrachial cutaneous nerve

Introduction/Aims: Posterior antebrachial cutaneous (PABC) nerve conduction studies could be useful for distinguishing PABC neuropathy from C7 radiculopathy. In the conventional method using an antidromic method, the sensory nerve action potential (SNAP) is sometimes followed by a large volume-conducted motor potential. In this report we describe a reliable nerve conduction study using an orthodromic method for recording SNAPs of the PABC nerve.

Abstract: This study has established normal values for PABC nerve conduction studies. Furthermore, age and body mass index must be taken into account for making diagnostic conclusion in PABC nerve conduction studies.
