The effects of anthropometric and demographic factors on conduction parameters of the ulnar nerve: Multivariate analysis
The objective of the study is to investigate the effects of age, height, gender, body mass index (BMI), waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), arm and elbow measures on ulnar nerve conduction. We enrolled 261 "disease-free" subjects. We analyzed motor conduction velocity (MCV) in across elbow (AE) and...
