The Effects of Working Hours on Nerve Conduction Test in Computer Operators [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Long hours of work at a computer can result in potential adverse effects such as pain, paraesthesia, and subjective weakness of upper extremities with associated decreased nerve conduction velocities of peripheral nerves (median and ulnar)

Activity-dependent excitability changes in normal and demyelinated rat spinal root axons [PDF]
Myelinated nerve fibres with a reduced safety factor for conduction due to demyelination are easily blocked by trains of impulses. To find out why, in vivo recordings from rat ventral root fibres demyelinated with diphtheria toxin have been supplemented ...

ef: Multivariable extrapolated reference values in motor nerve conduction studies
Introduction: In this study we describe a method called "multivariable extrapolated reference values" (MeRef) that derives reference values (RVs) using patient data and includes the dependence of these variables on multiple patient demographic variables,

Experiment for teaching virtual cathode in nerve conduction studies
Introduction/AimsThe virtual cathode (VC) is a site near the anode where the nerve can be stimulated. Costimulation of neighboring nerves via the VC can affect recording and interpretation of responses.
