Electrodiagnostic evaluation of peripheral nerve function in rheas and barred owls

Abstract: Reference range (mean +/-2 SEM) for MNCV was 34.1 to 75.3 m/s for the ulnar nerve and 116.7 to 147.9 m/s for the tibial nerve in barred owls and rheas. After repetitive stimulation, motor potential amplitudes may be +/-22.7% of the initial amplitude response.

“…Differences between males and females of this species are expected to be minimal. To the authors' knowledge, data from males and females were pooled in previous avian electrophysiologic studies, [6][7][8][9][10][20][21][22] and there are no reports of significant differences in electrophysiologic measurements obtained from male and female birds. Although variability in conduction velocities and action potential amplitudes was evident among individual birds, radial and ulnar SNCV, CNAP, and CDP values were consistently obtained in our study and may serve as baseline values for adult mallard ducks.…”

“…Electromyography has been used to confirm the presence of brachial plexus avulsions in red-tailed hawks (Buteo jamaicensis) 5 and assess organophosphate-induced delayed neuro-pathy in chickens. 6 Reference values for ulnar MNCVs have been determined for rheas (Rhea americana) and barred owls (Strix varia), 7 and cerebral SSEPs have been evaluated in studies 8 to assess the efficacy of electrical stunning following stimulation of the radial nerve in chickens. Conduction velocities and evoked potentials have also been recorded following radial nerve stimulation and during open surgical laminectomy procedures in pigeons.…”
