Stimulation can be on either side.
Stimulation must be on the opposite side of the body to where the potentials are meas
Stimulation must be on the same side of the body as the potentials are measured.
Certain symptoms may be indicators of neuropathy, which can a ect nerves of the autonom
nervous systems. Categorize the following statements:
