Authoring systems. Finding the right tool for your courseware development project.

Many factors must be considered when selecting an appropriate tool for courseware development. An overview of development tools is provided. Based on the authors' experience in selecting an authoring system for a recent courseware development project, a practical process for selecting the appropriate tool is described. Considerations when determining the general needs for an authoring system and evaluating specific authoring systems' features are outlined. Selection considerations are also discussed.

The effect of stimulatory electrode placement on F-wave latency measurements.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of two commonly used stimulating electrode placements on F-wave latency. SUBJECTS: Fifty healthy subjects aged 20 to 47 years were tested. METHODS: F-waves were obtained from median and ulnar nerves bilaterally. A total of 200 nerves were tested. RESULTS: A paired t-test indicated a statistically significant difference in F-wave latency between the two stimulating electrode placements. Stepwise linear regression equations demonstrated that our results were consistent with previously published studies. CONCLUSION AND DISCUSSION: Although a statistically significant difference exists between the two techniques, the magnitude of the difference is not likely to be clinically important. Therefore, the most important factor may be to use a consistent technique when investigating potential neuropathies.
