    This study analyzed F-response parameters in healthy adults, finding minimal differences between sides. Height correlated with F-latency, while age showed a slight link to F%M, with no other age or sex effects observed.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuroscience
    • Clinical Electrophysiology

    Background:

    • The F-response is a valuable electrophysiological measure.
    • Understanding normative F-response parameters is crucial for clinical diagnosis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine normative values for various F-response parameters.
    • To investigate the influence of age, sex, and height on F-response characteristics.

    Main Methods:

    • Electrophysiological assessment of F-response parameters (latency, chronodispersion, amplitude, duration) in median and ulnar nerves.
    • Inclusion of 20 responses per nerve in healthy subjects (12-81 years).
    • Bilateral nerve conduction studies.

    Main Results:

    • No significant side-to-side differences in F-response parameters, except for slightly longer minimum F latencies in the right median nerve.

  • Strong positive correlation between minimal/maximal F latencies and subject height.
  • Weak correlation between minimal/maximal F latencies and age.
  • Slight but significant positive correlation between F%M amplitude and age.
  • No significant age or sex-related changes for other F-response parameters.

    • Conclusions:

    • F-response parameters are largely symmetrical in healthy individuals.
    • Height is a significant determinant of F-latency.
    • Age has a minor influence on F-response parameters, primarily F%M.
    • These findings contribute to establishing normative electrophysiological data.
