For partial nerve palsy, more than 80% of patients will recover completely. For complete nerve palsy, less than 40% of patients will have complete recovery.<unk>  nerve in continuity arises from defined cause will be recovered better than those arise from unknown causes. Examinations are required for following reasons: *Considering lumbar radiculopathy during the examination *Possibility of foot drop *Sensory loss that may be difficult to determine because of variable and small autonomous zone of sensation *Tinel's sign over the fibular neck that can help localize the site of nerve compression *Checking for direct compression that reproduces nerve symptoms Electromyography Electromyography is used to observe<unk>  nerve palsy within one month of injuries. And if it is partial<unk>  nerve palsy, patients have higher chance to recover fully from the palsy. More than 70 to 80 percent of patients with partial<unk>  recovered completely, but those with complete<unk>  have chances less than 30 percent to recover completely. If the symptom does not get any better in few months, surgery is required to decompress the nerve compression. Nerve conduction velocity Nerve conduction velocity is an important aspect of nerve conduction studies. It is the speed at which an electrochemical impulse propagates down a neural pathway. Conduction velocities are affected by a wide array of factors, including age, sex, and various medical conditions. Studies allow for better diagnoses of various neuropathies, especially demyelinating conditions as these conditions result in reduced or non-existent conduction velocities. To perform nerve conduction velocity, surface electrodes are placed onto the skin over nerves at various locations. Each patch sends electrical impulses which stimulate the nerve. Resulting electrical activity of nerve is recorded by the other electrodes. The distance between electrodes and the time it takes for electrical impulses to travel between electrodes are used to determine the velocity of the nerve signals. Image of brain MRI. MRI An MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) scan is an imaging test that uses powerful magnets and radio waves to create pictures of the body. It does not use radiation. Single MRI images are called slices. The images can be stored on a computer or printed on film. One exam produces dozens or sometimes hundreds of images. To locate nerve palsy, MRI is used by physicians to detect the position and location of damaged<unk>  nerve.
