Édition originale.

Duchenne de Boulogne (1806-1875) est l’un des plus grands cliniciens du XIXe siècle et le fondateur de la neurologie.
Il est aussi l'un des pionniers de l’utilisation de l’électricité comme instrument d'expérimentations physiologiques. L’usage du courant alternatif lui permet de stimuler avec précision un seul faisceau musculaire à la fois.

Duchenne de Boulogne (1806-1875) is one of the greatest clinicians of the 19th century and the founder of neurology.
He is also one of the pioneers in the use of electricity as an instrument for physiological experiments. The use of alternating current allows it to precisely stimulate only one muscle beam at a time.
