    <abstract locale="en_US">Determination of F-wave latency is a simple and valuable method in evaluating proximal part of peripheral nerves. The aim of this study was to determine the mean minimal peroneal F wave (F min) in healthy individuals. A total of 282 individuals were studied. The mean age was 45.6 years. The F min (&#xB1; SD) for 564 peroneal nerves was 47.09 &#xB1; 4.51 ms. The F min for the age group of 20-45 and height group of 160-180 cm were 47.63 &#xB1; 4.50 and 49.77 &#xB1; 3.76, respectively. This study demonstrates that the mean F min of our samples was not significantly different from other important similar studies. Age and particularly height had a major role in determination of F min value and these two parameters must be considered in clinical evaluation of patients.</abstract>
