Motor Evoked Potentials after Supraspinal Stimulation in Pre- and Postoperative Evaluations of Patients with Cervical Radiculopathy
Table 4
Results of the Wilcoxon matched-pairs test, which show significant differences (bold field) between the individual values of parameters determining root conduction in the pre- and postoperative evaluations, with groups divided by spinal root damage revealed in the MRI scan.

Amp. MEP: MEP amplitude after supraspinal magnetic stimulation, Lat. MEP: motor evoked potential latency after supraspinal magnetic stimulation, F min. APB: minimum F-wave latency after stimulation of the median nerve motor fibres recorded from the abductor pollicis brevis muscle, Freq. F APB: F-wave frequency after stimulation of the median nerve motor fibres and recording from the abductor pollicis brevis muscle, FCT APB: F conduction time after stimulation of motor fibres of the median nerve and recording from the abductor pollicis brevis, RxCT APB: root conduction time for motor fibres of the median nerve, DP: deltoid posterior, BB: biceps brachii, TB: triceps brachii, and nr: nonrecorded |
