The F wave is produced by the antidromic stimulation of the spinal motoneurons. It can easily be obtained on the distal muscles of rat hind limbs. In rat and man the F wave amplitude and occurrence are different. It is easy to obtain and the responses are constant. It is, therefore, a more reliable method for measuring motor nerve conduction velocity than conventional methods. This technique enables the study of experimental peripheral neuropathies. By varying the frequency and duration of stimulation it is possible to study the 'central excitatory state.'
F波是由脊髓运动神经元的逆向刺激产生的。它很容易在大鼠后肢的远端肌肉上获得。在大鼠和人类中,F波的振幅和出现情况有所不同。它很容易获得且反应恒定。因此,与传统方法相比,它是一种测量运动神经传导速度更可靠的方法。这项技术能够用于研究实验性周围神经病。通过改变刺激的频率和持续时间,可以研究“中枢兴奋状态”。
