'Of the many German neurologists who flourished during the later 1800s, the most significant figure was Wilhelm Heinrich Erb. Primarily known for the advances he made in identifying, classifying, and treating the muscular dystrophies, many of which still bear his name, Erb also pioneered in the diagnosis and treatment of nervous disorders. The work on electrotherapy contains first descriptions of several nervous disorders and was written while Erb was professor of neurology at the University of Heidelberg, a post which he held for some twenty-seven years.'
