In a patient of Dystrophia musculorum progressiva, the functions of the muscle, neuromuscular junction, efferent nerve and spinal synapses were investigated by means of spontaneous and evoked electromyography. As reported in a previous paper, (Ibid 41, 4, 361-369, 1965) they were in a hypofunctional state seemingly derived from disuse of the muscles. In this paper, a new method of physical therapy to activate the hypofunctional state at the neuro-muscular pathways is discussed. Activation in the neuromuscular pathways was induced by the administration of anticholinesterase and tetanization with electrical stimuli. By prolonged and repetitive administration of this method, remarkable improvement was noticed in the electromyogram, muscle power, spinal function and subjective complaints. This method seems to be effectable for rehabilitation in Dystrophia musculorum progressiva.
