A Comparison of Nerve Conduction Properties in Male and Female of 20 to 30 Years of Age Group

Objective: The study aimed to compare nerve conduction properties of both gender in 20-30 age group. Method: Total 70 subjects of both genders ranging in age between 20 to 30 years were selected as per inclusion and exclusion guidelines of the study. Nerve conduction properties of median and ulnar nerves of both genders were recorded as per set guidelines. Result: Gender has definite effects on, latency, amplitude and conduction velocity of motor and sensory nerves. These effects are not identical in different motor and sensory nerves. Females had higher amplitude and conduction velocity in both motor and sensory stimulation of median and ulnar nerves, whereas, motor and sensory latency of median and ulnar nerve is higher in males.
