– maximum value of the current density (Jz) along the median nerve or ulnar nerve. – average value of Jz for 10% of the elements with highest Jz values along the corresponding nerve; – average value of Jz in the respective nerve. Ratio – represents the ratio of in the stimulated nerve related to for the nerve, which is not to be stimulated.
