title: Relationship between sensory nerve conduction and temperature of the hand.
abstract: Electroneurographic and thermographic investigations were carried out in 32 persons. Sensory nerve conduction velocity, the amplitude of sensory nerve potential, subjective and objective electrical threshold were determined during the stimulation of each finger. Thermograms were taken before and after the standard cooling test. Statistical analysis has revealed that all the results of electroneurographic and thermographic parameters obtained from the fingers of the same person as well as of all investigated persons are directly connected. Highly significant (p = 0.001 and 0.01) correlations of second degree were found between electroneurographic and temperature parameters.
