title: Sensory nerve conduction studies of the less frequently examined nerves.
abstract: The normal values of latency, amplitude and conduction velocity of the sensory nerve action potentials of a group of infrequently or even rarely examined nerves, are reported. A number of preliminary testings was made in order to establish the most appropriate and practical stimulation and recording procedures for the study of the axillary, lateral antebrachial cutaneous, medial antebrachial cutaneous, lateral femoral cutaneous, saphenous, superficial peroneal and medial plantar nerves. The examination techniques and the normal data obtained from their application on 30 healthy subjects, 20 to 36 years of age, at constant skin temperature, are discussed and compared to those already existing in the available literature.
