- Abstract
- Thirty motor nerve conduction studies were made in the tibial and peroneal nerves of healthy ma/e cats ranging in age from 6 months to 8 years. Compound muscle action potentials (CMAP) were recorded with a concentric needle electrode following surface nerve stimulation. Normative data for CMAP onset latency, duration, and amplitude were recorded along with motor nerve conduction velocity (MNCV), residual latency, and terminal latency index. Motor conduction velocity in the peroneal nerve was significantly (p < 0.05) faster than in the tibial nerve. There was no significant temporal dispersion of CMAP between proximal and distal stimulus sites in either nerve tested (p > 0.05). We found that adult values for MNCV were reached between 6 months and 12 months of age.
