A new electrophysiologic technique allows for the study of the deep peroneal sensory nerve. This method is simple, reproducible, and aids in diagnosing deep peroneal nerve pathology, a cause of ankle and foot pain.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Neurophysiology
  • Clinical Electrophysiology

Background:

  • Ankle and foot pain can stem from various conditions.
  • Injury or entrapment of the deep peroneal sensory nerve is a potential cause.
  • No established technique existed for studying deep peroneal sensory nerve conduction velocity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a simple and reproducible electrophysiologic technique for evaluating the deep peroneal sensory nerve.
  • To establish normative electrophysiologic values for the deep peroneal sensory nerve in healthy adults.

Main Methods:

  • Electrophysiologic study of the deep peroneal sensory nerve in 40 healthy adult subjects.
  • Utilized averaging to enhance signal reproducibility.

Main Results:

  • Sensory action potential onset latency: 2.9 ± 0.4 ms (range: 2.1–3.6 ms).
  • Sensory action potential peak latency: 3.6 ± 0.4 ms (range: 2.7–4.2 ms).
  • Conduction velocity: 42 ± 5 m/s (range: 33–53 m/s).
  • Amplitude: 3.4 ± 1.2 μV (range: 1.6–6.6 μV).

Conclusions:

  • The deep peroneal sensory nerve is accessible for electrophysiologic evaluation.
  • The described technique is simple and reproducible.
  • This method can be valuable in diagnosing deep peroneal nerve pathology.
