[Methods of determining conduction velocity along sensory fibers of peripheral nerves].

The results of determining the sensory conduction along the median nerve by the methods of Buchthal et al. and Gutmann are compared. Ten healthy subjects were examined using a serial myograph supplied by " Medicor ". The identical nature of the results obtained by both methods warranted the conclusion as to the high reliability of Gutmann's method. The authors describe the adequate operational regime of the frequency filters of the myograph as well as the technical procedures enabling the researcher to register low-amplitude action potentials of the peripheral nerve sensory fibers without an averager.
