Abstract
Background: Nerve Conduction Velocity is affected by various factors like age gender & temperature. Various studies
have been done regarding development of brain and dominance of right or left side, some studies have found
differences between left and right hand for nerve conduction. Our aim is to compare NCV of dominant limb to nondominant
limb in right hand dominant subjects and to find out if different normal values should be considered in right
and left hand. Methods: The Median and Common Peroneal Nerve (CPN) of dominant as well as Non- dominant limb
were used for measuring Motor & Sensory Nerve Conduction Velocity (MNCV & SNCV) in age groups of 31-35 and 36-
40 years using Medicaid system. Results: We found p value was insignificant using unpaired t-test for MNCV & SNCV
of Median and Common Peroneal Nerve of left and right side. Similarly, the MNCV & SNCV of dominant and nondominant
limb for median and CPN were insignificant. Conclusion: Consideration of right or left side dominance is not
necessary while measuring NCV in asymptomatic subjects and different set of normal values are not required for right
and left hand.
