Lumbosacral roots could be tested either by means of magnetic coil stimulation\* or electrically using needle electrode inserted to the laminar level.' We studied 15 normal subjects and 20 patients with lumbosacral root disorders to compare these stimulation techniques. The magnetic stimulator with
We compared the frequencies and types of motor conduction abnormalities found in peroneal and tibial nerves of patients with either L5/S1 radiculopathies (n = 47) or axonal polyneuropathies (n = 49). In axonal neuropathies, compound muscle action potentials (CMAPs) were more likely to be either unob
