Background and Objectives: Nerve Conduction Velocity(NCV) study is a part of Clinical Neurophysiology. Nerve Conduction Study is a test commonly used to evaluate the functions of the motor and sensory nerves of the body. It has emerged as a major tool for diagnosis of nerve function disorders. Handedness also known as chirality is a human nature due to unequal distribution of fine motor skills between the left and right hands. The aim was to compare the NCV between left handed and right handed subjects using median, ulnar and radial nerve and find out whether there is any difference in NCV(motor or sensory) with handedness. Method: The Nerve conduction study was performed on a RMS EMG EPMK II Electrophysiology machine. Motor and sensory NCV of the median, ulnar and radial nerves in the left and right upper limbs was compared in 50 right and 50 left handed subjects of both gender between 18 to 40 years. Result: Data analysis was performed through standard statistical methods. Median motor NCV was higher in right handed subjects. Sensory NCV were higher in left handed subjects Conclusion: Different range of values of motor and sensory nerve conduction velocity for left and right handed persons. |
