AB - <p>The production of nerve and muscle impulses by faradic and interrupted direct current, and the "Strength-duration curves" plotted for normal, denervated, and partially denervated muscles, are described. The advantages and disadvantages of such electrical stimulation in the testing of recent paralysis, the treatment of recent paralysis, and following tendon transfer surgery, in leprosy patients, are discussed. In the light of these, electrical stimulation is concluded to have only a minor role in the Physiotherapy of leprosy.</p>
