摘要
A general computational procedure for the estimation of the distribution of conduction velocities in peripheral nerves is proposed. This distribution is estimated from the compound electrical nerve response and the single fiber response measured either under excised nerve conditions, in locus with needle electrodes or non-invasively with surface electrodes. Several statistical estimation procedures are suggested depending on the amount of knowledge about these nerve signals. The procedure is substantiated by several examples and by the estimation of 48 distributions from data collected in a human population composed of neurologically normal individuals and subjects with diabetic peripheral neuropathy. © 1980.
