(Préface de l'auteur) ---- "A classical and a Standard Work in Neurology". (MacHenry) ---- GARRISON N° 4543 CITING THIS THIRD EDITION : "Early description, page 357, of partial brachial plexus paralysis, uppar type (Duchenne, Erb palsy) ---- "In taking stock of Duchenne's major achievements, it may be said that he more than any other person of his day was responsible for developing the technique of the meticulous neurological examination. He had discovered that electrical stimulation would cause muscles to reveal their individual role in willed movement, and although he first seized upon this as a therapeutic method, he later used it as a diagnostic tool for studying the natural motion of every muscle... Duchenne's detailed methodology attracted the attention of men like Charcot... Part of his vast number of clinical observations went into the analysis of muscle action in health and disease, published as those two masterpieces : "De l'électrisation localisée" and "La physiologie des mouvements". (Haymaker pp. 430/435) ---- "Duchenne nonetheless must be regarded as one of the greatest of the early French neurologists and the founder of electrotherapy... He was the first to employ electrical stimulation of nerves and muscles in exploring the muscular system and in the diagnosis and treatment of neurological diseases". (Heirs of Hippocrates N° 1690 1st ed.) ---- "The famous monograph on poliomyelitis his son wrote was incorporated in the third edition of De l'électrisation...".
