Abstract

1) The skin plays an important role in interfering with the measurement of threshold value of electric stimulation of nerves and muscles in the human body.2) It is possible to measure the threshold of the nerve or muscle by balancing the polarization in the skin. This is called a Balancing Network Method
3) Explanations were given on a simple arrangement used for measuring the threshold clinically.
4) The true V-t curve was obtained by eliminating the influence of the skin by the B.N.M. The values of chronaxie and rheobase were calculated theoretically. The values of four kinds of nerves and muscles were compared with each other.
5) Explanations were given on the measurement of the constant concerning the slope factor.
6) Explanations were given on the measurement of threshold for AnOC.
