The study was conducted on 30 normal females ranging in age from 19-20 years to evaluate the effect of different mechanical compressive forces (50 mm Hg ＆ 100 mm Hg) on motor nerve conduction velocity (MNCV). Conduction Velocity of left Median Nerve was measured at normal body temp. MNCV was measured three times in each subject. First testing of MNCV was done without applying any proximal compression force while second and third MNCV measurements were taken by applying proximal compressive forces above the elbow level equal to 50 mm Hg ＆ 100 mm Hg respectively. The results indicate significant decline in the MNCV after applying compression to the nerve. The decline was related to the magnitude of compression.
