Abstract :
This study considered the effects of pulsed electromagnetic fields on functional recovery from acrylamide-induced neuropathy in rats. A walking track analysis and a drop test analysis were used to assess function. Results showed no correlation between the applied magnetic field and functional recovery. The walking track analysis was also shown to be inadequate for the study of effects of acrylamide on nerve function
