A Comparative Study of Nerve Conduction Velocities in Human Beings of Different Age
Journal Title: International Journal of Contemporary Medical Research - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 8
Abstract
Introduction: Nerve conduction study is the most sensitive and reproducible measure of peripheral nerve function. The results of these motor and sensory nerve conduction studies are expressed as amplitudes, conduction velocities and distal latencies yield quantitative and qualitative observations regarding the waveform and dispersion of electrical impulses. Study aims and objectives were to establish the normal electrophysioligical values of the commonly tested median, ulnar, common peroneal, and sural nerves by age. Materials and methods: Twenty five normal healthy adult male subjects aged between 21 – 30 years and twenty five normal adult male subjects aged between 51-60 years. Results: The mean motor nerve conduction velocity of median nerve in the male subjects of 21-30 years of age was compared with the mean motor nerve conduction velocity of median nerve of 51-60 years, has increased by 10.62%. Conclusion: This conduction phenomenon does do vary from our study and the earlier studies which proved that the length, thickness, metabolism, and temperature does do cause changes in the velocity of conduction.
