Erb's point evoked potential latency amplitude normal values

Here is a concise answer based on authoritative textbook data:

Erb's Point — SEP Latency & Amplitude

Erb's point is a recording site in somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs), located in the supraclavicular fossa overlying the brachial plexus. It records the N9 potential (also called the "Erb's point potential") when the median nerve is stimulated at the wrist. This reflects peripheral nerve conduction up to the brachial plexus level.

Latency (Median nerve, wrist stimulation)

Parameter	Mean	Upper Limit (Mean + 3 SD)
Erb's point absolute latency	9.7 ms	12.0 ms
Erb's point → P/N13 interwave latency	3.8 ms	5.2 ms

Amplitude

The amplitude of the Erb's point potential is typically in the range of 1–6 µV (varies by lab and patient size).
Amplitude is considered less diagnostically informative than latency for clinical interpretation — textbooks note that "the amplitudes of the waves are less informative for clinical work."
A clinically significant amplitude reduction is usually defined as >50% asymmetry between sides, or amplitude below the lab-specific lower limit of normal.
One published study (Korean normative data) reports a mean N9 amplitude of approximately 5.0 µV (SD ~2.25 µV).

Clinical Context

Prolonged Erb's point latency (>12.0 ms) suggests peripheral nerve or brachial plexus pathology proximal to the stimulation site.
If Erb's point is normal but N13 or cortical responses are delayed, the lesion is central (spinal cord or brain).
Norms should be verified in each laboratory, as values are sensitive to technique, stimulus parameters, and patient height.

Data Review Against Normal Values

Motor NCS

Nerve	Site	Latency (ms)	Amp (mV)	Velocity (m/s)	Assessment
L Median – APB	Wrist	4.04	2.7	—	Latency borderline high (normal <4.5 ms); amplitude reduced (normal ≥4 mV)
	Elbow→Wrist	8.48	1.4	45	Amplitude markedly reduced; velocity normal (≥50 m/s borderline)
R Median – APB	Wrist	3.69	8.7	—	Normal latency; amplitude normal
	Elbow→Wrist	8.21	7.2	44	Amplitude normal; velocity slightly reduced
L Ulnar – ADM	Wrist	2.83	2.5	—	Normal latency; amplitude low-normal
	B.Elbow→Wrist	8.00	2.7	45	Velocity normal
R Ulnar – ADM	Wrist	1.85	1.3	—	Normal latency; amplitude reduced (normal ≥4–6 mV)
	B.Elbow→Wrist	8.04	1.2	—	Amplitude markedly reduced; velocity not calculable from data
L Axillary – Deltoid	Erb's Pt	4.73	1.2	—	Latency normal (<6 ms); amplitude reduced (normal ≥2–3 mV)
R Axillary – Deltoid	Erb's Pt	4.60	2.4	—	Latency normal; amplitude low-normal/borderline
L Suprascapular	Erb's Pt	6.06	0.9	—	Latency borderline high; amplitude markedly reduced (normal ≥2 mV)
R Suprascapular	Erb's Pt	5.65	4.0	—	Normal latency; amplitude normal

Sensory NCS

Nerve	Latency (ms)	Amp (µV)	Velocity (m/s)	Assessment
L Median Digit II	3.28	24.0	40	Latency normal (<3.5 ms); amplitude normal (>20 µV); velocity low-normal
R Median Digit II	3.10	30.5	42	Normal latency; normal amplitude; velocity normal

Interpretation

1. Left Median Nerve — Mixed (Motor > Sensory) Axonal Involvement

Distal motor latency is borderline prolonged and CMAP amplitude is significantly reduced at the wrist (2.7 mV) with a further drop at the elbow (1.4 mV), indicating axonal loss with possible proximal conduction block or superimposed demyelination.
Sensory conduction is relatively preserved (amplitude 24 µV, latency 3.28 ms), suggesting predominantly motor fiber involvement.

2. Right Ulnar Nerve — Motor Axonal Neuropathy

CMAP amplitudes are markedly reduced bilaterally on ulnar nerve (R: 1.3/1.2 mV; L: 2.5/2.7 mV), with relatively preserved distal latencies, consistent with axonal loss rather than demyelination.

3. Left Axillary Nerve — Motor Axonal Involvement

Reduced CMAP amplitude (1.2 mV) from Erb's point to Deltoid with normal latency (4.73 ms) suggests left axillary nerve axonal injury.

4. Left Suprascapular Nerve — Significant Axonal Involvement

Borderline latency prolongation (6.06 ms) and markedly reduced amplitude (0.9 mV) compared to the right side (5.65 ms, 4.0 mV) indicates left suprascapular nerve neuropathy, likely axonal type.

5. Right-sided nerves (R Median motor, R Axillary, R Suprascapular) show relatively preserved parameters.

Conclusion

The NCV findings are consistent with:

Left-sided axonal neuropathy involving multiple nerves — left median (motor-predominant), left axillary, and left suprascapular nerves, suggesting a left brachial plexopathy or multifocal motor neuropathy affecting the upper trunk and posterior cord distribution on the left.

Bilateral ulnar motor axonopathy — more pronounced on the right, raising the possibility of an axonal ulnar neuropathy at or proximal to the elbow (not demyelinating, given preserved velocities).

Sensory fibers are relatively preserved bilaterally for the median nerve, suggesting predominantly motor fiber or anterior horn cell involvement, or a lesion proximal to the dorsal root ganglion.

Overall pattern: Predominantly axonal, motor-predominant, asymmetric neuropathy with left > right involvement, distribution consistent with left upper brachial plexopathy (affecting C5–C6 territory: axillary + suprascapular + median) with additional bilateral ulnar motor axonal involvement. Clinical correlation with history (trauma, neoplasm, radiation, neuralgic amyotrophy) and EMG of affected muscles is recommended.

Note: Normal values used — Motor distal latency: median <4.5 ms, ulnar <3.5 ms; CMAP amplitude: median ≥4 mV, ulnar ≥4 mV, axillary ≥2 mV; Motor conduction velocity: upper limb ≥50 m/s. Sensory: median digit II latency <3.5 ms, amplitude >20 µV.

sural nerve amplitude latency normal values

Sural Nerve — Normal NCV Values

The sural nerve is a pure sensory nerve (no motor component), so only a Sensory Nerve Action Potential (SNAP) is recorded.

Normal Reference Values (Sural Nerve SNAP)

Parameter	Mean ± SD	Lower Limit of Normal
Amplitude (SNAP)	~17 µV (range 6–48 µV)	≥6–7 µV (lower limit)
Onset latency	~2.4–3.4 ms (varies with distance)	Upper limit ~3.6 ms (at 14 cm)
Peak latency	~3.1 ms	Upper limit ~3.5–3.6 ms
Conduction velocity (SNCV)	~50–52 m/s	Lower limit ≥40 m/s

Standard recording distance: 14 cm (calf to lateral malleolus). Some labs use 10–12 cm, which gives a slightly shorter latency.

Key Points

Amplitude ≥6 µV is the accepted lower limit of normal (AANEM: lower limit ~6 µV; some labs use ≥5 µV)
Mean amplitude is approximately 17 µV in adults under 60 years
Amplitude decreases with age — values below 6 µV in elderly patients may be borderline
Amplitude is the most sensitive indicator of axonal loss (reduced in axonal neuropathies)
Velocity is most sensitive for demyelination (slowed in demyelinating neuropathies)

Clinical Significance

Finding	Interpretation
Absent or <6 µV amplitude	Axonal sensory neuropathy; S1 radiculopathy (with caution); peripheral neuropathy
Normal sural + abnormal superficial peroneal	Sural sparing pattern — seen in CIDP, CMT
Slow velocity (<40 m/s)	Demyelinating neuropathy
Absent bilaterally	Severe sensory neuropathy (e.g., diabetes, amyloid)
