ControlCaseControlCaseControlCaseControlCase
The CMAP and NCV of right tibial nerve were significantly reduced in the cases as compared to controls which were found out to be statistically significant, suggesting that cases had motor axonal neuropathy. CMAP: compound muscle action potential; NCV: nerve conduction velocity; SNAP: sensory nerve action potential.
