Parameters Affecting F Wave Latency in Normal Population

Year 2012, Volume: 37 Issue: 3, 168 - 171, 01.09.2012

Abstract

Purpose: Determination of F-wave latency is a simple and valuable method in evaluating proximal part of the peripheral nerves. The aim of this study was to determine F-wave minimum latency of median, ulnar, tibial and peroneal nerves in normal healthy subjects. Methods: A total of 64 subjects including 34 female and 30 male at a mean age of 44.2 ± 16.3 (17-73) were studied. F-minimum latency was recorded from median, ulnar, peroneal and posterior tibial nerves using surface electrode. Collected data was evaluated according to the gender, age and height. Results: Age and height showed significant effect on F-wave minimum latency. However, gender showed nonsignificant effect on F-wave minimum latency. Conclusion: In evaluation of F latency, electrophysiological data of the cases should be interpreted after correcting for age and height.

Abstract

Amaç: F dalga latansı, periferik sinirlerin proksimal bölümünün değerlendirilmesinde basit ve değerli bir metoddur. Çalışmanın amacı, normal sağlıklı bireylerde median, ulnar, tibial ve peroneal sinirlerde Fminimum dalga latansı kayıtlanmasıdır. Yöntem: Çalışmaya yaş ortalaması 44.2 ± 16.3 (17-73) olan 34 kadın ve 30 erkekten oluşan toplam 64 olgu alınmıştır. Median, ulnar, peroneal ve tibial sinirlerden yüzeyel elektrod ile F minimum latansı kayıtlaması yapılmıştır. Elde dilen veriler yaş, cins ve boya göre değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Yaş ve boy uzunluğunun F minimum latansı üzerine istatistiksel olarak anlamlı etkisinin olduğu, cinsiyetin ise anlamlı etkide bulunmadığı belirlenmiştir. Sonuç: Fmin latansının değerlendirilmesinde yaş ve boy uzunluğu dikkate alınarak hastaların elektrofizyolojik verileri değerlendirilmelidir.
