title: Studies of sensory conductions. Comparison of latencies of orthodromic and antidromic sensory potentials.
abstract: Latencies of orthodromic and antidromic sensory potentials were compared in 16 normal median nerves. Peak latency was longer in the antidromic sensory response in every case. The peak latency of the antidromic sensory response depended on the distance between the recording electrodes; with shorter interelectrode distances it was similar to that of orthodromic sensory response.
