Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 17, Issue 2
Abstract
Electrophysiological study (nerve conduction study”NCS”) is useful adjunct test to the medical history and clinical examination in the diagnosis of such complication, early detection and differentiation of type of peripheral neuropathy. The aims of this study are designed to Decide the most necessary parameters of NCS of healthy subjects to establish the normal electrophysiological values of the common nerves in upper and lower limb .The present study was carried out at the neurophysiology unit in Al-yarmouk Teaching Hospital.The study group consists of eighty six (86) healthy volunteers (45 males and 41 females). The age of this group ranged between 20 to 75 years with a mean (52.48 ±10.63) years. All subjects were healthy and symptoms free, with no history of systemic and neurological diseases. No history of alcohol abuse or drug intake. They compromised normal relatives, medical staff, students and workers. All of 86 subjects that were included in this study were informed about the aim and technique of the study and their acceptance was taken. Each subject was submitted to medical history and electrophysiological tests (NCS) of the two limbs i.e. the upper and the lower. These tests include Sensory nerve conducting study (SNCS) for Median, Ulner and Sural nerves and Motor nerve conducting study (MNCS) for Median, Ulnar, Fibular (Common peroneal), and tibialnerves. The results showed data were processing separately between males and females with mean accompanying with standard deviation for sensory and motor of median, ulnar sural, common peroneal and tibialnerves. Conclusion: The study will be helpful normative parameters of the common tested nerves of the upper and lower limbs were established for the EMG laboratory in our region.
