Effect of Age and Limb Length on Median Nerve H-Reflex Latency Recorded from the Flexor Carpi Radialis in Healthy Subjects

The objective of this capstone was to establish a reliable standardized technique for recording median H-reflexes from the flexor carpi radialis using surface electrodes; to establish normal values for H-reflex latency and side-to-side latency difference; to explore the effect of age and limb length on H-reflex latency; and to construct a three-variable nomogram to allow prediction of H-reflex latency, given age and limb length.
