[Determination of the rate of spike conduction along sensory fibers of the proximal segment of the sciatic nerve by the technic of correlating the latency periods of the H-reflex, F-wave and M-response].

The author substantiates the possibility of calculating the speed of impulse conduction along the sensitive fibers of the sciatic nerve in the segment "the popliteal fossa- the spinal anterior horn" by recording over the musculus soleus the evoked H-reflex, F-wave and M-response and by measuring their latent periods. A formula to calculate the speed is offered. The results of examining clinically healthy people are presented.
