The quality of life in genetic neuromuscular disease questionnaire: Rasch validation of the French version.

abstract：:Mechanical deformation of a peripheral nerve can evoke action potentials in sensory and motor axons. The generation of these impulses with brief stimuli (<0.5 s) and their relationship to the deformation conditions have not been systematically studied in human subjects. Controlled compression stimuli over a range of a...
