title: [Electric stimulation in cases of flaccid paralysis].
abstract: Forty-six patients with flaccid paralysis of muscles were treated with stimulation with exponential currents. In 7 groups of patients three grades of muscle paralysis were distinguished, on the basis of muscle reaction to a definite duration of electrical stimulus. The best therapeutic results were obtained in paresis, fairly good in moderate paralysis, less good in severe paralysis. The results depended on the degree of muscle denervation, the extent of damage to the peripheral motor neuron and to the conditions of regeneration of the peripheral nerve.
