M wave
A compound action potential evoked from a muscle by a singleelectric stimulus to its motor nerve.
By convention, the M wave elicited by supramaximal stimulation isused for motor nerve conduction studies.
Ideally, the recording electrodes should be placed so that the
initial deflection of the evoked potential is negative. The latency, commonly called the motor latency, is the latency (ms)
to the onset of the first phase (positive or negative) of the Mwave.
The amplitude (MV) is the baseline-to-peak amplitude of the firstnegative phase, unless otherwise specified.
The duration (ms) refers to the duration of the first negativephase, unless otherwise specified.
Normally, the configuration of the M wave (usually biphasic) is quitestable with repeated stimuli at slow rates (1-5 Hz). See repetitivenerve stimulation

F wave
A compound action potential evoked intermittently from a muscleby a supramaximal electric stimulus to the nerve.
Compared with the maximal amplitude M wave of the same muscle,the F wave has a smaller amplitude (l%-5% of the M wave), variableconfiguration, and a longer, more variable latency.
The F wave can be found in many muscles of the upper and lowerextremities, and the latency is longer with more distal sites ofstimulation.
The F wave is due to antidromic activation of motor neurons. Itwas named by Magladery and McDougal in 1950. Compare the Hwave and the A wave
7/30/2019 3-4 Mpt 1st Year
41/117
H wave
A compound muscle action potential having a consistent latencyevoked regularly, when present, from a muscle by an electricstimulus to the nerve.
It is regularly found only in a limited group of physiologicextensors, particularly the calf muscles.
The H wave is most easily obtained with the cathode positionedproximal to the anode.
Compared with the maximum amplitude M wave of the same muscle,the H wave has a smaller amplitude, a longer latency, and a loweroptimal stimulus intensity.
The latency is longer with more distal sites of stimulation.
7/30/2019 3-4 Mpt 1st Year
42/117
A stimulus intensity sufficient to elicit a
maximal amplitude M wave reduces orabolishes the H wave.
The H wave is thought to be due to a spinalreflex, the Hoffmann reflex, with electricstimulation of afferent fibers in the mixednerve to the muscle and activation ofmotor neurons to the muscle through a
monosynaptic connection in the spinal cord. The reflex and wave are named in honor of
Hoffmann's description (1918). Comparethe F wave

Neurophysiological Overview.1
After the nerve (e.g., femoral, tibial, etc.) has
been identified and stimulating electrodes are
applied over the nerve, and after recording
EMG electrodes are applied over themuscles motor point
A galvanic stimulator simulates the nerve
(group Ia afferents) directly thereby by-
passing the spindle
7/30/2019 3-4 Mpt 1st Year
53/117
Neurophysiological Overview.2
Group Ia fibers monosynaptically connect with
alpha motoneurons in the anterior horn of the
spinal cord
The alpha motoneurons activate extrafusal(somatic) fibers in the homonymous muscle
Recording EMG electrodes pick-up electrical
activity in the muscle
A twitch contraction is elicited
Similar is appearance to a DTR response
