COMPARISON OF SENSORY NERVE CONDUCTION IN UPPER LIMB AND LOWER LIMB IN ASYMPTOMATIC DIABETICS AND NORMAL VOLUNTEERS
Journal Title: International Journal of Basic and Applied Physiology - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
on in upper limb and lower limb in diabetic individuals and to compare the results with normal healthy volunteers. Method: The study was carried out at NHL medical college in 5o diabetic and 50 normal volunteers. NCV was measured by EMGNCV recording machine, Neuroperfect plus of Medicaid systems. Result: Amp & CV in upper limb nerve i.e. median nerve in diabetics was 30.1±8.3µv, CV 52.1±3.8 m/s while in lower limb nerve i.e. sural nerve, it was 10.3±4 µv and 46.8±3.5 m/s. the value for amplitude and conduction in healthy volunteers in upper limb was 36.8±5.4 µv and 58.7±2.4 m/s and in lower limb the value for the same were 15.8±4.0 µv and 50.6±1.9 m/s. The results were analyzed using unpaired t test and were found to be highly significant*. Conclusion: It was observed that in diabetes, nerves of the both the limbs are affected but the upper limb nerves are affected more. *P value – 0.001
