[Involvement of the peripheral motor neuron in hereditary spastic paraplegia (author's transl)].
Two patients from families with hereditary spastic paraplegia (recessive and dominant type) were examined electromyographically. It was found that the peripheral motor neuron is involved. It is assumed that in cases of infantile recessive familial spastic paraplegia the peripheral motor neuron is rather more involved than in those of the dominant type of spastic paraplegia.
