Abstract:SUMMARY
Both sensory and motor nerve conduction measurements have been made on the posterior tibial nerve in children with spina bifida cystica during operative closure soon after birth. The motor measurements were repeated up to the age of 9 months and compared to velocities in normals and myelomeningoceles after the age of 3 years. The sensory measurements made proved technically difficult as the recorded action potentials were very much smaller than previous work suggested. Both sensory and motor conduction… Show more
