Armadillo, Nerve Conduction Study, Leprosy, Peripheral NeuropathiesAbstract
The authors present a technique to perform nerve conduction study in armadillos (D. novemcinctus) and suggest that 66.17 m/s could be the mean normal nerve conduction velocity for the sciatic nerve, a parameter that could be used for assessment of the peripheral nervous system in this animal, considered the choice for experimental development of leprosy neuropathy and even in other peripheral neuropathies.
