Reference Standard of Median Nerve Conduction Study in Korea.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To establish the reference standard of the median nerve conduction study (NCS) in Korea.

Methods

A total of 648 median motor and 602 median sensory NCSs from 349 Korean healthy volunteers were tested and analyzed prospectively. Equipment calibration, assessment of intraand inter-rater reliability, and the NCSs per se were conducted according to a predetermined protocol. A reference standard was established from uncertainty components for the following parameters: the onset and peak latencies; the baseline-to-peak and peak-to-peak amplitudes; the area and duration of the negative wave; and the nerve conduction velocity. The effects of sex, age and stimulation intensity were analyzed.

Results

Each measured value of 648 median motor and 602 median sensory nerve
