F-Response Study In C-Spine Degenerative Joint Disease Patient, Chen-Ming Chiu, Rai-Chi Chan, Tao-Chang Hsu

Rehabilitation Practice and Science

The purpose of this study was to compare the significant difference of F Response between normal and C-spine DJD groups and compare one another among different age groups. We chose 10 patients with C-spine DJD in each age groups of 50-60, 60-70, 70-80 age groups. Everyone recived Ulnar and Median N nerve conduction study with subsequent 20 times F responses.The results revealed 1) in Spine DJD with radiclopathy groups, these are prolonged F lateny & decreased F persistence compared to normal groups. 2) no significant difference in F amplitude, F spike, M amplitude, M surface and NCV between normal and …
