F-wave persistence was calculated by dividing the number of recorded F-waves by the number of stimuli.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>Results<\/jats:bold>\u2014The correlation coefficient between F-wave latency and nerve length was 0.92, and that between F-wave latency and limb length was 0.58. Mean \u00b1 SD F-wave conduction velocity of the tibial nerve was calculated to be 97.1 \u00b1 5.0 m\/s. Linear regression analysis yielded the regression equation as follows: F-wave latency (milliseconds) = 2.60 + (0.02 \u00d7 nerve length [mm]). Mean F-wave persistence and amplitude were 98.7 \u00b1 2.3% and 1.01 \u00b1 0.62 mV, respectively.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions and Clinical Relevance<\/jats:bold>\u2014Results indicated that nerve length should be used for nerve conduction studies of F-waves in felids. The regression equation for F-wave latency, conduction velocity, persistence, and amplitude may contribute to the diagnosis of nervous system diseases or injury in cats, such as trauma to the spinal cord or diabetic neuropathy.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2460\/ajvr.69.2.261","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,2,1]],"date-time":"2008-02-01T22:34:31Z","timestamp":1201905271000},"page":"261-264","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["F-wave conduction velocity, persistence, and amplitude for the tibial nerve in clinically normal cats"],"prefix":"10.2460","volume":"69","author":[{"given":"Seiichi","family":"Okuno","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Takayuki","family":"Kobayashi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kensuke","family":"Orito","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1272","reference":[{"key":"ref1","series-title":"Amyotroph Lateral Scler Other Motor Neuron Disord","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"131","DOI":"10.1080\/146608202760834139","article-title":"F-waves and the corticospinal lesion in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis","volume":"3","author":"de Carvalho","year":"2002"},{"key":"ref2","series-title":"Muscle Nerve","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1296","DOI":"10.1002\/(SICI)1097-4598(199710)20:10<1296::AID-MUS12>3.0.CO;2-1","article-title":"F-wave latency, the most sensitive nerve conduction parameter in patients with diabetes mellitus","volume":"20","author":"Andersen","year":"1997"},{"key":"ref3","series-title":"Arch Phys Med Rehabil","first-page":"492","article-title":"F-wave conduction velocity in the central segment of the peroneal and tibial nerves","volume":"56","author":"Kimura","year":"1975"},{"key":"ref4","series-title":"Muscle Nerve","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"912","DOI":"10.1002\/mus.880150808","article-title":"The relative diagnostic sensitivity of different F-wave parameters in various polyneuropathies","volume":"15","author":"Fraser","year":"1992"},{"key":"ref5","series-title":"Vet Res Commun","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"123","DOI":"10.1007\/BF02214904","article-title":"Stimulation techniques and response characteristics of the M and F waves and H reflex in dogs","volume":"6","author":"Knecht","year":"1983"},{"key":"ref6","series-title":"J Neurol Sci","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"259","DOI":"10.1016\/0022-510X(82)90147-2","article-title":"Acute canine idiopathic polyneuropathy.
