| Peripheral nerve | Mean (SD)∗ | Mean of normal population∗ | 95% Confidence Interval | P value∗∗ |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Right median | 56.7 (5.5) | 57 | (55.5, 57.9) | 0.628 |
| Right ulnar | 60.3 (7.6) | 61 | (58.6, 62.0) | 0.454 |
| Left median | 56.0 (5.6) | 57 | (54.7, 57.3) | 0.121 |
| Left ulnar | 59.6 (6.4) | 61 | (58.2, 61.1) | 0.071 |
| Right tibial | 46.1 (4.6) | 47 | (45.1, 47.1) | 0.117 |
| Right proneal | 46.0 (8.7) | 47 | (44.0, 48.0) | 0.319 |
| Left tibial | 46.5 (5.2) | 47 | (45.3, 47.7) | 0.443 |
| Left proneal | 45.8 (7.2) | 47 | (44.2, 47.4) | 0.195 |
∗The numbers are in meter per second (m/s).
∗∗One sample t test; a P value less than 0.05 has been considered to be statistically significant.
