Default Have the NCV results...looks like sensory motor polyneuropathy of some sort...long!

Not sure if anyone here can help me understand this but I will post the "official results" right from the report .....Electromyogram Results:

1.Low amplitude right Peroneal motor response from
extensor digitorum brevis with slowed conduction velocity between popliteal fossa and ankle

2.Low amplitude right tibial motor response from abductor hallucis with slowed conduction velocity between popliteal fossa and ankle.

3.Normal right median motor response from APB with slowed conduction velocity between elbow and wrist.

4.Normal amplitude, right ulnar motor response from the hypothenar eminence with slowed conduction velocity between distal humerus and wrist.

5.Low normal amplitude in the right peroneal motor response from tibialis anterior with slowed conduction velocity across the fibular head.

6.Normal amplitude, right sural sensory response with slowed conduction velocity.

7.Absent right superficial peroneal sensory response.

8.Low amplitude right median sensory response from the second day (sic) with slowed conduction velocity across the wrist. The right ulnar fifth and radial first digit sensory responses are of normal amplitude and slowed conduction velocity.

9.Absent right medial and lateral plantar sensory responses.

10.Elevated right tibial H-reflex latency.

INTERPRETATION:

The above study is abnormal and is consistent with a length dependent sensory motor polyneuropathy. The patient's foot temperature was low as the time of testing; however, this alone does not explain the findings, which remain consistent with neuropathy.

Investigation into causes of neuropathy are recommended.
