Human growth and development entail dynamic changes in bodily dimensions, yet motor proficiency seems to remain consistent over time. This study examines the latency of Transcranial Motor Evoked Potentials (TcMEPs) across various age groups to assess whether motor velocity adjustments are necessary with age. Data were collected from 100 patients undergoing surgery with intraoperative neuromonitoring at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, between January 1, 2019, and January 1, 2020. TcMEP recordings were analysed for seven commonly monitored muscles across seven age groups: <10 years, 10-19 years, 20-29 years, 30-39 years, 40-49 years, 50-59 years, and >60 years. The study found no significant differences in MEP latency with age, suggesting that motor response latency remains stable despite variations in bodily dimensions across different age groups. These results contribute to understanding motor proficiency and its stability over the human lifespan.
