Nerve conduction and temperature: Necessary warming time
Abstract The purpose of this study was to estimate the time needed to warm an extremity prior to measuring nerve conduction. In 8 normal subjects tibial and sural nerve conduction variables were measured during cooling and warming of the leg in water of 18°C and 36°C, respectively. During cooling, n...
