2020, Clinical NeurophysiologyCitation Excerpt :Motor amplitude increases logarithmically with age, while the sensory amplitude is established early and remains fairly constant, consistent with findings from standard nerve conduction studies (Parano et al., 1993; Cai and Zhang, 1997; Garcia et al., 2000). Given the overall parallel maturation of most sensory and motor excitability parameters, the discrepancy in development of the peak amplitude is likely due to progressive maturation of other motor unit components such as the neuromuscular junction and muscle fibres which continue to alter in size and fibre type distribution until late adolescence (Brooke and Engel, 1969; Aherne et al., 1971; Belanger and McComas, 1989). Importantly, the coherent trajectories of development in excitability parameters despite the differences in peak amplitude reflect the specificity of excitability techniques in recording motor axonal properties as distinct from the motor unit.
