Difficulties in calculating the motor nerve conduction velocity of the peroneal nerve arise when the extensor digitorum brevis is completely atrophied and does not respond to stimulation. In these patients, conduction velocity in the proximal fibers of the peroneal nerve can still be calculated by recording from proximal muscles such as the anterior tibial and peroneus brevis. We established normal values by a simple standardized method using 34 subjects.
