Age-related changes of the tibial nerve cross-sectional area in the disabled elderly
In conclusion, although our study suggests that nerve ultrasound could be a helpful tool for assessment of the tibial nerve in disabled elderly patients, disability status was not an independent predictor of tibial nerve CSA. Future studies with a larger sample size and a homogenous group are suggested.
