title: [Asymmetry of muscular electric excitability in injuries of the brachial plexus].
abstract: The data are presented on the asymmetry of electric excitability of right and left arm muscles in 22 patients with lesions of the right brachial plexus and 24 patients with left brachial plexus lesioned. Asymmetry included accelerated loss of excitability to short impulse currents in patients with left brachial plexus lesioned, and in more pronounced increase in the volume of threshold current decreasing in length of impulse for the muscles of intact left hand as related to those of intact right hand.
