Background:

Nerve conduction studies are used to evaluate peripheral nervous system diseases. The NCV is affected by biological variables such as age, temperature, height, and gender. Moreover, very few studies have been conducted to determine the age groups in which these variations become noticeable.

Aim and Objectives: 

The goal of the research was to collect electrophysiological data from various age groups to determine when variations in nerve conduction velocity occur.

Methodology:

The study groups were divided into five age groups: Group A (18-23 years), Group B (24-29 years), Group C (30-35 years), Group D (36-40 years), and Group E (41-45 years). There were 250 male participants and 250 female participants. The NCVs of the ulnar (motor and sensory) and common peroneal nerves were determined (motor component).

Results:

The mean and standard deviation of ulnar velocities for both sensory and motor components, as well as peroneal motor nerves, were investigated. Patients who were older had slower conduction velocities than those who were younger.

Conclusion:

Conduction velocities in various peripheral nerves can be affected by age.
