title: Electrophysiological findings in crutch palsy.
abstract: Detailed electromyographic studies in two patients suffering from crutch palsy revealed conduction blocks along the nerves to the involved upper limbs localized to the axilla. Rapid reversal of the blocks was documented in one patient. Electromyography is of value in delineating such lesions and helping in the formulation of prognosis.
