A new technique for dorsal sural nerve conduction study with surface strip electrodes

Highlights • Our method with surface strip electrodes (SSEs) yielded larger SNAP amplitudes in the dorsal sural nerve (DSN) than did the conventional method. • All branches of the DSN could be stimulated at the same time by SSEs. • SSEs enable DSN sensory nerve action potentials to be obtained easil...

Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • Our method with surface strip electrodes (SSEs) yielded larger SNAP amplitudes in the dorsal sural nerve (DSN) than did the conventional method. • All branches of the DSN could be stimulated at the same time by SSEs. • SSEs enable DSN sensory nerve action potentials to be obtained easily even in elderly people.
