title: [A review of technical and physiological aspects of F-wave studies and analysis of the data obtained in a group of diabetic patients].
abstract: We reviewed some physiological aspects of the F-wave studies, mainly related to the motoneurone sizes involved in the generation of this potentials and the number of stimuli necessary to analyze the F-wave parameters. F-wave latencies and F-wave conduction velocities obtained in a group of normal volunteers and in a group of diabetic patients are analyzed.
