Nerve Conduction Studies (NCS)
Nerve conduction studies (NCS) involve delivering pulse stimuli to the proximal (motor nerve conduction velocity, MCV) or distal (sensory nerve conduction velocity, SCV) part of a nerve trunk and receiving waveforms at the distal effector muscle (MCV) or proximal nerve path location (SCV). By measuring the latency and distance between two points, the conduction velocity of motor or sensory nerves can be calculated. This is primarily used to assess nerve conduction function.
