Sensory nerve conduction velocity of cutaneous afferents of the radial, ulnar, peroneal, and tibial nerves of the dog: reference values.

The mean conduction velocities of the compound action potentials of sensory axons of the cutaneous branches of the radial, ulnar, peroneal, and tibial nerves of the healthy dog were determined by cutaneous stimulation and recorded by averaged evoked response technique. Locations for both stimulation and recording electrodes were identified. Mean conduction velocities were: radial nerve = 65.1 +/- 6.2; ulnar nerve = 69.4 +/- 6.9; peroneal nerve = 64.4 +/- 5.25; and tibial nerve = 63.4 +/- 5.3 m/s +/- SD.
