title: [The study of distal sensitive conduction in the child: some observations (author's transl)].
abstract: The sensitive potential of the median nerve is evoked by stimulating the second and third fingers while being recorded percutaneously at the wrist. Three parameters are calculated on control subjects: amplitude, duration and velocity, which is obtained from the negative peak latency. These parameters have been measured on children with Charcot-Marie-Tooth's disease. Friedreich's ataxia and Fukuyama's disease. The results are in good agreement with the literature. The interest of this investigation for early diagnosis of the disease and its classification is emphasized.
