Title: Nerve Conduction Velocity of Small Components in Human Sensory Nerves

In the normal group the slow components showed no relation to age which is in contrast to the maximum velocity. In both the median nerve and sural nerve of about 20% of the patients with neuropathy exclusively a decrease of the conduction velocity of slow components was found, the other investigated parameters were normal. Possible causes are an alteration of the myelin sheath or changes in the properties of the nodal gap membrane.Read More
