title: Surface direct current bioelectric potentials in the normal and injured human thigh.
abstract: Skin bioelectric potentials were obtained from both normal and injured human thighs using surface direct current silver/silver chloride monitoring electrodes. Electrical patterns in normal subjects fell into 4 distinct groups. In subjects with injured thigh significant electrical differences were associated with bone formation. The findings are discussed.
