A nerve conduction velocity (NCV) test is used to assess nerve damage and dysfunction. Also known as a nerve conduction study, the procedure measures how quickly electrical signals move through your ...

This week we are going to discuss a diagnostic test which is often ordered to differentiate between diseases of the nerve and muscle, as well as the nerve itself and the myelin sheath of the nerve. A ...

This week we are going to discuss not an injury but a specific test that is performed to diagnose an injury. That test? The nerve conduction velocity test or NCV/EMG. The nerve conduction velocity ...

A nerve conduction velocity test measures the speed of electrical impulses passing through the nerves of the body. In this article, learn about how a nerve conduction velocity or NCV test is used, ...

Neurophysiology is a discipline within the health sciences that deals with the measurement and assessment of nervous system function, rather than the anatomy of the nervous system. This field helps to ...

Your muscles move when nerve signals from the brain tell them to get to work. Electromyography (EMG), a diagnostic test, measures how well your muscles respond to those signals. Movement is a complex ...

What meaning does decreased nerve conduction amplitude have in light of normal conduction velocity and normal muscle testing on EMG? The morphology of the peripheral nerve response is formed by the ...

Simple resistance training may help counteract age-related nerve deterioration that puts seniors at risk of injuries from ...

To measure each subject’s nerve conduction velocity for their study, researchers Jason DeFreitas (pictured far right) and JoCarol Shields used nerve conduction tests that stimulated the nerves in the ...

Philadelphia, PA, August 13, 2014 – A new study published in The American Journal of Pathology identifies a novel gene that controls nerve conduction velocity. Investigators report that even minor ...

High glucose variability in children and young adults with type 1 diabetes (T1D) strongly predicted slowed nerve conduction velocity, a forerunner of diabetic peripheral neuropathy, in a recent study.
