(1) MCV of the ulnar nerve was measured to investigate the effects of CVD on peripheral nerves.
(2) MCV of the ulnar nerve was found to be significantly lower in the involved extremities of hemiplegic patients.
(3) No relationship was found between hemiplegic amyotrophy and de-crease in ulnar MCV.
(4) Correlation of the MCV of the ulnar nerve with clinical findings was made.
(5) The possible factors causing lowered MCV of the ulnar nerve in hemi-plegic patients were commented upon.
(6) The author's hypotheses as to the etiology of hemiplegic amyotrophy and decrease in ulnar MCV in the involved extremity of the hemiplegic patient were offered.
