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 ...

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.

A study published in The American Journal of Pathology identifies a novel gene which can control nerve conduction velocity. Investigators report that even minor reductions in conduction velocity may ...

Objectives: To determine the impact of the application of cryotherapy upon nerve conduction velocity (NCV), pain threshold (PTH) and pain tolerance (PTO). Design: A within subject experimental design; ...

Collision Block of Action Potentials. An electrically initiated action potential (AP) can be sent towards an oncoming naturally generated AP to neutralize it and stop propagation, collision block. 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 ...

Department of Physical Therapy, Aomori University of health and welfare, 58-1 Hamadate Mase, Aomori-shi, Aomori, 030-8505, Japan Background In sports, warm-up is used for injury prevention and ...

As we age, our body’s nervous system starts to slow down. The nerves that tell our muscles to move don’t fire as quickly. That decline can shape how we move, react, and perform. Resistance training ...
