The study aimed to investigate whether sample sizes of F-wave study differed according to different nerves, different F-wave parameters, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis(ALS) patients or healthy subjects. The F-waves in the median, ulnar, tibial, and deep peroneal nerves of 55 amyotrophic lateral s...
