Characteristics of F and H waves of ulnar and tibial nerves in cats: reference values.
The latencies and latency rates of H and F waves were determined by percutaneous stimulation of the ulnar and the tibial nerves of healthy cats. In the ulnar and tibial nerves, the latency rates of H wave evoked compound action potentials were 49.1 +/- 7.3 and 44.1 +/- 2.7 m/s, respectively, and of F waves were 68.1 +/- 9.6 and 57.1 +/- 6.2 m/s, respectively. The H wave response of cats was more variable in latency and amplitude than that reported in the dog.
