Abstract:
Recognizing the semiologic importance of the second, and most famous, sign described by Joseph Babinski - the extension of the hallux after stimulation of the plantar region in order to differentiate organic from pithiatic paralysis- several authors have tried to find a comparable signal in the hand. After 122 years, no one has succeeded.
