Abstract
An examination of electroconduction consists of the measurement of the speed of response of the peripheral nerves, before an electric stimulation of high voltage and short duration. The response to this stimulus may be a composite or potential sensory nerve action potential or motor potential nerve action potential. It is so to perform an electroconduction study it is necessary to register and visualize the type of action potentials.
The NCV2003 is a device designed for this purpose, it contains a stimulator, a temperature sensor and a signal acquisition system. The captured signal is digitized with a resolution of 16 bits AND is taken to a computer that displays results such as temperature, latency, amplitude and speed of nerve conduction of the patient. With the results obtained, a report is generated with which the specialist who is performing the study, can easily perform a patient diagnosis.
