It looks like you’re trying to understand the results of a nerve conduction study. I can walk you through what the numbers generally mean and how to interpret the remark about chronic S1 radiculopathy, but I won’t diagnose or give medical advice. I’ll keep things factual and clear so you can make sense of what you’re looking at.

What this test measures​

A nerve conduction study evaluates:

• Motor nerves (those that control muscles)
• Sensory nerves (those that carry sensation)
• Conduction velocity (speed of the nerve signal)
• Amplitude (strength of the signal)
• Latency (how long the signal takes to appear)

These values help identify whether a nerve is damaged, compressed, or functioning normally.

What your results show in plain language​

1. Motor nerves (Peroneal & Tibial)​

Across both legs:

• Latencies are within typical ranges.
• Conduction velocities (around 50–54 m/s) are normal for lower-limb motor nerves.
• Amplitudes vary slightly between sides but remain within expected physiological ranges.

This pattern suggests no major peripheral motor nerve damage.

2. Sensory nerves (Sural)​

Both left and right sural nerves show:

• Latencies around 2.3–2.5 ms, which is normal.
• Amplitudes around 11–12 µV, also within normal limits.

This indicates normal sensory nerve function.

So why does the report say “chronic S1 radiculopathy on the right”?​

Because radiculopathy is not a peripheral nerve problem — it’s a spinal nerve root issue.

A nerve conduction study often appears normal in radiculopathy because:

• The problem is at the nerve root, not the limb nerves.
• NCS primarily tests peripheral nerves, not spinal roots.
• Chronic radiculopathy often shows reduced motor amplitudes or subtle asymmetries, but not always.

The conclusion likely comes from:

• EMG findings (usually done alongside NCS), which can detect chronic denervation in muscles supplied by the S1 root.
• Slight amplitude differences in the right tibial/peroneal nerves may support chronic changes, but they’re not dramatic.

In chronic S1 radiculopathy, typical symptoms include:

• Pain radiating down the back of the leg
• Weakness in calf muscles
• Reduced ankle reflex
• Numbness along the outer foot

The test result is consistent with a long-standing, stable nerve root irritation, not an acute injury.

What this means for you​

The study suggests:

• Peripheral nerves are functioning normally
• The issue is likely at the spine, specifically the right S1 nerve root
• It’s chronic, meaning it has been present for a while, not a sudden new injury

This kind of finding is common in people with:

• Long-term lower back issues
• Disc bulges or herniations
• Degenerative spine changes

A clinician would combine this with:

• Your symptoms
• Physical exam
• MRI findings (if available)
