Resumos

Foram estudadas as medidas de condução nervosa em 101 pessoas normais, 53 do sexo masculino e 48 do feminino. A idade variou de 16 a 81 anos (média, 44 anos). Foram estudadas tanto a velocidade de condução sensitiva quanto a velocidade de condução motora nos nervos mais frequentemente avaliados em neurofisiologia clínica. Em relação ao fator idade, observou-se declínio significativo nas faixas etárias mais avançadas.

velocidade de condução nervosa; valores normais; idade

Motor and sensory nerve conduction velocities were analysed in a group of 101 normal Brazilians. The normal values were obtained considering the group age, the distal and proximal segments of each nerve, the differences in the right and left side for each nerve. A significant decline in the conduction was found for the elderly aged group.

Palavras chave: velocidade de condução nervosa, valores normais, idade.

SUMMARY

Motor and sensory nerve conduction velocities were analysed in a group of 101 normal Brazilians. The normal values were obtained considering the group age, the distal and proximal segments of each nerve, the differences in the right and left side for each nerve. A significant decline in the conduction was found for the elderly aged group.

Key words: nerve conduction velocity, normal parameters, ageing.
