title: The standardized distal motor latencies and the peak to peak amplitudes of evoked muscle action potentials in the extremities of humans.
abstract: The values of Standardized Distal Motor Latency (SDML) of Median, Ulnar and Common Peroneal nerves and the peak to peak amplitude of Evoked Muscle Action Potentials (EMAP) of the small muscles of the limbs were studied in 50 normal subjects. The SDML values showed significant sex difference, whereas no sex difference was observed in the amplitude of the EMAPs.
