Abstract

1. Electro-physiological studies have been made in a case of "tourniquet paralysis" of the upper limb produced by the application of a pneumatic cuff.

2. The results indicate that an important part of the persistent paralysis was caused by local conduction block at the level of application of the cuff.

3. The value of electro-physiological studies in such cases is stressed.
