H03 Nerve Conduction – MP36/35

This BSL 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. Stimulation can be delivered with the STMHUM if using an MP36 and BSL 4.1 or greater, or with BSLSTMA/B if using an MP35 or earlier software releases. Choose the lesson procedure and template that corresponds with your hardware and software.

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.
