Evaluation of the patient with nerve compression and/or nerve injury should include a
complete motor and sensory evaluation to establish the level and degree of injury and/or …

A group of 49 patients with 74 injured digital nerves was studied more than 5 years following
epineurial nerve suture. Three tests of return of sensibility were used: von Frey plastic …

A longitudinal dynamic cohort study was conducted on patients with median nerve injuries to
evaluate the relative responsiveness of five sensibility tests: touch threshold using the WEST …

The emphasis in the management of peripheral nerve problems over the past three decades
largely has concerned surgical techniques, beginning with the debates over primary versus …

In order to identify an effective, test for evaluating the results of nerve repair, 25 patients, age
10–53 years (mean 27 years), were evaluated two to five years after median or ulnar nerve …

Sensibility is much more than protective sensation, and the examiner needs to consider the
various degrees of residual sensibility that influence both diagnosis and prognosis. Towards …
