For the LPN, we determined that the average AICT was 3.9 m/s using Erb stimulation with needle recording, and the average motor conduction velocity was 70.6 m/s using Erb stimulation and axilla stimulation with needle recordings in normal subjects. In patients, prolonged MCT in LPN was found in 3 of 6 Patients with unilateral plexopathy and 3 of 4 patients with polyneuropathy. If was determined that MCT and motor conduction velocity in LPN was as sensitive as biceps brachii MCT in patients with unilateral plexopathy. Furthermore, the motor conduction velocity in the LPN may be beneficial to elucidate the localization of involvement in polyneuropathies, such as distal or proximo-distal.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessNeurosciences and neurologyBrachial plexopathy and polyneuropathyLateral pectoral nerveMotor conduction timeAdolescentAdultElectric stimulationElectromyographyElectrophysiologyEvoked potentials, motorFemaleHumansMaleMiddle agedMuscle, skeletalNeural conductionPeripheral nervous system diseasesReaction timeThoracic nervesArticle0002205420000022-s2.0-12144287933451458114415195351NeurosciencesMyocutaneous Flap; Flaps (Control Surfaces); Free Tissue GraftAdolescentAdultArticleBiceps brachii muscleBipolar surface electrodeClinical articleCompound muscle action potentialControlled studyElectrodeErb stimulationFemaleHumanLateral pectoral nerveMaleMononeuropathyMotor conduction timeMotor nerve conductionMotor neuropathyMuscle action potentialMuscular dystrophyNeedleNerve conductionNerve stimulationNeuropathyPectoral muscleScapulohumeral muscular dystrophySensory neuropathyTraumatic plexopathyUnilateral brachial plexopathy
