SSEP - Somatosensory Evoked Potential (Both Lower Limb)

Also Known As:

Bilateral Lower Limb SSEP

Sensory Nerve Pathway Test (Legs)

Somatosensory Evoked Response Lower

Spinal Cord Sensory Conduction Test

This SSEP test measures sensory nerve responses in both lower limbs. It is useful for diagnosing spinal cord or nerve pathway issues. The test is non-invasive and provides accurate results for effective neurological evaluation.

Includes 4 Test Parameters

Technique

Bilateral electrical stimulation of the posterior tibial nerves at the ankle.

Purpose

To evaluate the length of the sensory pathway from the feet to the brain.

Area Covered

Both lower limbs and the entire length of the spinal cord.

Key Clinical Point

Often used to assess the severity of spinal cord injury or suspected tethered cord syndrome.

Includes Test 5 Parameters

It is often used for patients with walking difficulties, leg numbness, or suspected spinal cord issues.

Yes, it can show if the narrowing in the spine is actually slowing down the nerve signals to the brain.

It is usually applied to the tibial nerve at the ankle.

No. While NCV checks the nerve in the leg, SSEP checks the entire path from the leg, through the spine, to the brain.

No, you can drive and return to your normal activities immediately.
