Abstract
A method of determining motor nerve conduction velocity is described. The average normal conduction velocity of the ulnar and peroneal nerves in our series was 57.9 and 48.5 m/second, respectively. These figures compare favorably with those reported by other authors. Abnormal values found in the various neuropathies as determined in our laboratory and in the literature are dealt with at length. Several factors other than disease states which alter nerve conduction velocity are discussed. Motor nerve conduction velocity determination is considered a valuable clinical tool in studying suspected peripheral neuropathic states.
