Abstract
In order to control the recovery process after diphtheric polyneuropathy th e dynamics of activity of m.flexor carpi radialis with increasing force was repetitively investigated in 12 patients using surface electromyography (E MG). In patients examined 12,4 +/- 2,9 months after the onset of diphtheria neurogenic type of EMG (decreased amplitude and number of turns along with increasing force) was established, 11-14 months later clinical improvement followed by positive changes of EMG parameters was documented.
