Twenty-six of 50 patients were investigated with nerve conduction studies and electromyography using a standard protocol and were compared to the findings in 50 normal control subjects. Almost all cases of typical Friedreich's ataxia had absent sensory action potentials (SAP) in the digital (92%) or sural (96%) nerves. The others had markedly decreased S.A.P's. In these same patients motor conduction velocities were either normal or only slightly decreased. In the second, atypical group of 9 patients, the motor conduction velocities were considerably decreased. Because of the absence of sensory action potentials in Friedreich's ataxia, and that the absence was noted in our very mild cases, it is proposed that this measure be used to facilitate early diagnosis.
