Some reduction in conduction velocity can be the result of axonal damage. Thus, the predominant pattern of neuropathy in our patients was of the axonal type. This is similar to a recent study ...

For example, in unmyelinated C fibers that conduct pain or temperature (0.4–1.2 μm in diameter), conduction velocity along the axon is 0.5–2.0 m/s (as fast as you walk or jog). In contrast ...
