Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
evaluation of Egyptian normative data for US assessment of peripheral nerves at different anatomical sites.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
detection of differences in normative data for peripheral nerves by the US between different age groups. Also, evaluate the correlation between these normative values and BMI BODY MASS INDEX. to detect the variability in normative between Egyptian males and females.To detect the effect of different environments on normatives as the study is multicenter, including different Egyptian cities from upper and lower Egypt.	—
