Normal values of motor nerve conduction velocity in infants and children
Dalia Mohamed Ahmed El-Sokary;
Abstract
Nerve conduction studies as part of the PNE are an extension of the clinical history and examination and are important in the management of cranial and peripheral neuromuscular disease as well as contributing to diagnosis of spinal cord lesions.
NCS give data on peripheral nervous system (PNS) function which may be used to provide useful information in localizing lesions and determining the pathological processes responsible so it help in:
1- Diagnosis
2- Description of disease state (old/new; dynamic/static pathophysiology)
3- Advice on prognosis and management based on tests results and disease detected.
4- Longitudinal monitoring of disease with multiple studies
Nerve conduction study is a test that measure the speed and strength of electrical activity of nerve, so it can give information about the structure and function of nerves.
