F wave to height or limb length ratios as rational alternatives for F wave latency in clinical electrodiagnostic medicine

Highlights ► Two methods are proposed as easy methods to correct F latency for height. ► These methods eliminate the possible false positive and negative reports of F wave results when clinicians do not correct the latency for height routinely. ► A unique reference table for F latency can be produce...

Description
Summary:	Highlights ► Two methods are proposed as easy methods to correct F latency for height. ► These methods eliminate the possible false positive and negative reports of F wave results when clinicians do not correct the latency for height routinely. ► A unique reference table for F latency can be produced for all populations and races.
