  1. Normative data for nerve conduction parameters (mean ± SD, range) with clinically relevant upper and lower limits presented as the value 2 SD above/below the mean.
  2. Footnote: Distances are rounded to the nearest 1/2 centimeter (cm). Q1 = first quartile, Q2 = second quartile, Q3 = third quartile.
