摘要:
A well-controlled experimental model for analysis of compression-induced functional changes of the porcine cauda equina is presented. The model allows for electrophysiologic investigation of a variety of neurophysiologic changes induced by nerve root deformation. At an acute pressure threshold of 50-75 mm Hg, changes in both afferent and efferent conduction are induced. With higher compression pressure, a differential recovery in afferent and efferent conduction is seen.
