Nerve Conduction Studies of the Sural Nerve in Childhood

A study of the sural nerve was undertaken to determine latency to onset and peak, duration of action potential, amplitude, and conduction velocity in 33 children, 1 to 7 years old. Multiple tests per patient resulted in 140 measurements per variable. To determine if the interpatient measurement variation was a significant factor compared to the intrapatient differences, one-way analysis of varianc…
