The current of injury – also known as the demarcation current,hermann's demarcation current[1] or injury potential[2] – is the electric current from the central part of the body to an injured nerve or muscle, or to another injured excitable tissue. The injured tissue has a negative voltage compared to the central part of the body.[3]
