Human figure drawings by children with Duchenne's muscular dystrophy.

Seventy-two human figure drawings by forty-three patients who had a diagnosis of Duchenne's muscular dystrophy were examined. The study includes a description of these human figure drawings according to eleven emotional indicators and according to directionality quadrants. When the human figure drawings were used as a projective tool, four personality traits of some of the children were identified: physical inadequacy, immaturity, body anxiety, and insecurity. Both the emotional indicators and the quadrant in which the figures appeared were examined in relation to stages of the disease process to see if the human figure drawings of the children might reflect more stress and anxiety at a particular stage of the disease. Suggestions for improvements and recommendations for future study are given.

Errors in EMG reporting.

In a review of 112 electromyographic reports from 112 different electromyographers, errors were classified as anatomic, terminologic, technical and interpretative. Ninety-seven of the reports had substantive errors. The EMG report should be complete, precise, accurate and logical and include a summary of the anatomic and neurophysiologic data with a translation into a probable clinical diagnosis.
