Nerve Conduction Velocity-Reply
JAMA, 1961To the Editor:— Dr. Hodes' premise is that the conduction velocity of motor fibers in poliomyelitis patients is reduced, presumably because of selective destruction of large motor neurons. This premise was based on determinations in 26 chronic patients (presumptive diagnosis).

The Maximization of Nerve Conduction Velocity
IEEE Transactions on Systems Science and Cybernetics, 1969Histological and electrical examination of high-speed (myelinated) nerve fibers reveals a coaxial RC cable whose inner conductor has from 40 to 80 percent of the diameter of the outer conductor. If various reasonable engineering approximations are made, it turns out that the latter geometry corresponds to maximum conduction velocity. The model suggests

Assessment of the Distribution of Nerve Conduction Velocities in Alcoholics
Environmental Research, 1993To assess the effects of chronic alcohol ingestion on the faster and slower nerve fibers (alpha fiber group) in the peripheral nervous system, the distribution of nerve conduction velocities (DCV) and conventional maximal motor and sensory nerve conduction velocities (MCV and SCV) in the median nerve were measured in 23 male patients with severe ...

An experimental study for analyzing nerve conduction velocity
Electroencephalography and Clinical Neurophysiology, 1986Conduction velocities of so called A fibers in the bullfrog's sciatic-peroneal nerve were studied by means of a collision neurography in which a submaximal shock to the distal part of the nerve was used to block descending impulses from a supramaximal shock delivered to the proximal two parts of the same nerve respectively.

Motor nerve conduction velocity in normal chickens
American Journal of Veterinary Research, 1983SUMMARY Muscle potentials evoked by proximal and distal tibial nerve stimulation were evaluated and used to calculate motor nerve conduction velocity in 65 chickens. Two potentials analogous to the M and F waves recorded in persons consistently were evoked. The mean tibial motor nerve conduction velocity ± sd of the birds was 32.3 ± 4.0 m/s. This value

Fetal nutrition and peripheral nerve conduction velocity
Neurology, 1981Fetal nutrition as assessed by skin-fold thickness was correlated with nerve conduction in 27 babies of 39 to 41 weeks' gestation. There was correlation between skin-fold thickness and conduction velocity, suggesting that fetal nutrition may alter peripheral nerve function by influencing myelination.

Estimation of the distribution of conduction velocities in peripheral nerves
Computers in Biology and Medicine, 1979Abstract A general computational procedure for the estimation of the distribution of conduction velocities in peripheral nerves is proposed. This distribution is estimated from the compound electrical nerve response and the single fiber response measured either under excised nerve conditions, in locus with needle electrodes or non-invasively with ...

Matched Filters in Nerve Conduction Velocity Estimation
IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering, 1983The evoked response signal-to-noise ratio in peripheral sensory nerves is of the order of one or less. To reduce noise induced errors in the nerve conduction velocity measurement, signal averaging is employed. The number of responses required depends upon the signal-to-noise ratio and the acceptable error.

Conduction velocity of the human phrenic nerve in the neck
Journal of Electromyography and Kinesiology, 2009To measure phrenic nerve conduction velocity in the neck in humans.We studied 15 healthy subjects (9 men, 32.4+/-6.7). We performed bipolar electrical phrenic stimulation in the neck, from a distal and a proximal stimulation site, and recorded diaphragm electromyographic responses on the surface of the chest.

Nerve Conduction Velocity and Mobile Phones
1999In Australia there have been a small number of reports associating the use of analog (AMPS) and digital (GSM) mobile phone handsets with various neurological complaints1. The symptomatic data collected so far has been subjective and quite diverse ranging from various forms of headaches to descriptions of unpleasant tingling and burning sensations on ...
