Maturational changes in F waves in growing chickens

1993

Bagley, R.S. | Wheeler, S.J. | James, R.L.

The F waves evoked by supramaximal stimulation of distal tibial nerve were evaluated in chickens aged 2 to 15 weeks. Latency of these potentials increased from mean +/- SD 11.4 +/- 0.12 ms at week 2 to mean 12.88 +/- 0.65 ms at week 15. The F-wave latency increased linearly with age. When this latency was collected for a standard distance to compensate for the increasing limb length with age, latency decreased with maturity.
