  • 1-150 Low amplitude reflecting previous nerve damage:see text.

  • SAP=sensory action potential (μV); CMAP=ompound muscle action potential (mV); CV=conduction velocity (m/s); EMG=needle electromyography; Ax=mild active axonal damage; CPD=chronic partial denervation with reinnervation; NAD=No abnormality detected.
