H03 Nerve Conduction – MP30

This PRO lesson describes hardware and software setup of the BSL PRO System to record and measure nerve conduction velocity along the ulnar nerve of a human subject.

Experimental Objectives

  1. To record a charge from the stimulus electrodes to recording electrodes.
  2. To observe the Threshold, Maximal and Supra-Maximal response levels.
  3. To determine nerve conduction velocity along the ulnar nerve.

Tasks Performed by the Student

Subject will stimulate the nerve at increasing and decreasing increments to obtain responses at the recording electrodes.

Bioimpedance and Cardiac Output with TREV—a User-friendly, Noninvasive Technique

Learn a technique—Trans-radial Electrical Bioimpedance Velocimetry (TREV)—that is more user-friendly and less invasive than the transthoracic method. TREV measures blood movement in the radial and ulnar arteries of the forearm via bioimpedance.
Topics Covered:
– Presentation and discussion of TREV
– Derived Indices Relevant to TREV
– Hardware setup
– Participant setup
– Recognizing good quality and bad quality data
– Demonstration with the grip anticipation test
– Review of results from other tests
