F wave anomalies | 33% | 20% | 25% |
Reduced CMAP A | 33% | 20% | 25% |
Reduced MCV | 0% | 40% | 25% |
Increased DML | 0% | 0% | 0% |
Increased CMAP Dur | 0% | 20% | 12% |
Conduction blocks | 0% | 0% | 0% |
Reduced SNAP A | 33% | 80% | 63% |
Reduced SCV | 0% | 33% (3) | 17% (6) |
Sural‐sparing pattern | 33% | 75% (4) | 57% (7) |
When patients were excluded due to the lack of CMAPs, SNAPs, or normal sural nerve SNAPs, frequencies are calculated based on the number of patients reported in parentheses.
Abbreviations: CMAP A, compound motor action potential amplitude; CMAP Dur, compound motor action potential duration; DML, distal motor latency; MCV, motor conduction velocity; SCV, sensory conduction velocity; SNAP A, sensory nerve action potential amplitude.
