Document Summary

The formula used to calculate the conduction velocity in this experiment is: The subject"s reflex time does not change with different stimulus strengths. This is because the reflex occurs along the same path length every single time: plantar flexion: extension of the ankle resulting in the forefoot moving away from the body. Dorsal flexion: flexion of the ankle resulting in the top of the foot moving toward the body. Peroneus tertius: temporal summation is when action potentials occur in a very short period of time at the same neuron causing the depolarizing wave to be stronger.
