The effect of temporal local ischemia on motor nerve conduction in 10 healthy children and 5 children with transferred polyneuropathy was studied. We evaluated the background rate of motor nerve conduction velocity (m/s) and a same parameter at 2, 5, 10-minute test, at 1, 5, 10 minutes after the test. Temporal local nerve ischemia on the forearm in children of both groups cause a regular change of conductivity with a maximum significant decrease at 10-th minute. This degree of reduction of motor nerve conduction velocity is 8.8 ± 2,2%, (p <0,05) in normal children and in transferred polyneuropathy its 4.3 ± 1.1% (p <0,05). At 10 minutes of local ischemia in children with transferred polyneuropathy degree of reduction of motor nerve conduction velocity is less than in normal children on 51% (p <0,05). These results indicate that short term local compression of the nerve on the forearm can be used as a sample for evaluation of neural conduction in children under normal and pathological conditions.
