title: Sensory nerve conduction velocities amongst healthy soldiers.
abstract: Sensory nerve conduction velocities (SNCV) have been studied amongst 50 healthy soldiers between age group 21-40 years on 4 mixed peripheral nerves and one purely sensory nerve. Motor nerve conduction velocities and sensory latency rates were studied under similar standardized conditions and at the same sitting. Sensory nerve conduction velocities are faster when compared to motor nerve conduction velocities. Median nerve shows the highest values and sural nerve the slowest values of SNCV. Latency rates are fastest in median nerve and slowest in sural nerve.
