Recording sensory nerve action potential using different electrode types

Introduction/Aims

Switching between different types of electrodes during motor and sensory nerve conduction studies adds time to a study. We investigated the use of disposable disc electrodes (DDE) used for motor nerve conduction studies to record the antidromic sensory nerve action potential (SNAP) in median, ulnar and radial sensory nerve conduction studies.
