Somatosensory evoked potentials from median nerve; normative data.
The somatosensory evoked potentials from median nerve were studied in a group of 127 normal adults aged from 19 to 79. The latencies of elbow, Erb's, cervical N11 and N13 as well as cortical N20 and P25 potentials were analyzed as a function of height and age. Two central conduction times, N20-N11 and N20-N13, were equally studied. The corresponding regression formulae were calculated and can be used to predict normative values of these parameters over a wide range of height and age. Standard error estimates are given for all parameters.
