The purpose of this clinical trial is to assess normal values of the cross-sectional area of peripheral nerves and nerve roots in children and adolescents between 2 and 18 years.
This is a single center prospective clinical trial to determine standard values of the cross-sectional area of the median, ulnar, radial, peroneal, tibial, sural and vagus nerve as well as C5, C6 and C7 cervical roots in a cohort of neuromuscular unaffected children and adolescents between 2 and 18 years.
