摘要：Abstract: Background: Nerve conduction velocity is being used as a widespread measure of diagnosis of nerve function abnormalities. Dependence of nerve conduction parameters on intrinsic factors like age and sex, as well as extrinsic factors like temperature is well known. Lateralization of various cerebral functions like speech, language, visuospatial relations, analysis of face, recognition of musical themes and use of hand for fine motor movements have also been studied. The aim of this study is to compare the nerve conduction velocity of different subjects with different height using median nerve and find out whether there is any difference in relation between motor nerve conduction velocity and height. Method: The study was carried out in students of B J Medical College by the use of standard 2 channel physiograph. Comparison of motor nerve conduction velocity between subjects of different height was done under equation of Pearson correlation. Result: There are several factors which affect nerve conduction velocity. Some skills like music, sports activities are also due to hemispheric difference. Age and sex affect nerve conduction velocity. Here we compare the relation between height and motor nerve conduction velocity. On comparison of motor nerve conduction velocity of median nerve with different height of the subjects the study shows that there is significant decrement in nerve conduction velocity with increase in height of subjects. Conclusion: From the results we can conclude that there is inverse correlation between height and nerve conduction velocity of subjects.
