TLDR
The "moving two-point discrimination test" is shown to be a simple, quick, and valid diagnostic tool in nerve compression syndromes and nerve lacerations and an accurate prognosticator and monitor during sensory reeducation following nerve repair.Abstract:
As the Weber test evaluates the slowly adapting fiber-receptor system (constant touch), the "moving two-point discrimination test" evaluates the innervation density of the quickly adapting fiber-receptor system which mediates the perception of touch stimuli moving across the hand. Results with this test in 39 hands used as controls and in 63 patients with nerve injuries show it to be a simple, quick, and valid diagnostic tool in nerve compression syndromes and nerve lacerations and an accurate prognosticator and monitor during sensory reeducation following nerve repair.read more

Review of treatment results for ulnar nerve entrapment at the elbow
TL;DR: It is suggested that an internal neurolysis, combined with an anterior submuscular transposition, may be the best approach when the ulnar nerve is severely compressed.

The carpal tunnel syndrome: diagnostic utility of the history and physical examination findings.

TL;DR: With the exceptions of age, Tinel sign, and hand pain diagram rating, findings from the physical examination and the history had limited diagnostic utility, and suggests that subsets of patients may be managed without nerve conduction studies.

Nerve repair by means of tubulization: literature review and personal clinical experience comparing biological and synthetic conduits for sensory nerve repair.
TL;DR: Different tubulization techniques proposed so far are described, focusing in particular on studies that reported on the employment of tubes with patients, and the clinical results are compared.

Median nerve compression in the carpal tunnel--functional response to experimentally induced controlled pressure.
TL;DR: There is a critical pressure level between 30 and 60 mm Hg where nerve fiber viability is acutely jeopardized, and a modification of the model utilizing an arm tourniquet demonstrated that ischemia rather than mechanical deformation was the primary cause of the functional deterioration.

Early Clinical Outcomes with the Use of Decellularized Nerve Allograft for Repair of Sensory Defects Within the Hand
TL;DR: Decellularized nerve allografts were capable of returning adequate sensation in nerve defects ranging from 0.5 to 3 cm and Randomized comparative studies will be required to determine efficacy in comparison to collagen conduits or nerve autograft.

The sense of flutter-vibration: comparison of the human capacity with response patterns of mechanoreceptive afferents from the monkey hand.
TL;DR: This paper combines two experimental of the first importance for sensory neurophysdesigns which differ remarkably in method, iology, for they establish the dynamic and in their historical and conceptual derange required of the input on the afferent side of the system to account for the output-the measured sensory capacities.
Vision substitution by tactile image projection.
TL;DR: In this paper, a vision substitution system for the blind is described, which is used to study the processing of afferent information in the central nervous system, and the results obtained with preliminary models have been briefly reported.

Vision substitution by tactile image projection.
TL;DR: A vision substitution system which is being developed as a practical aid for the blind and as a means of studying the processing of afferent information in the central nervous system is described.

Activity from skin mechanoreceptors recorded percutaneously in awake human subjects.
Å.B. Vallbo,K.-E. Hagbarth +1 more
TL;DR: A technique is described which allows recording of multi-fiber discharge and single-unit activity from intact peripheral nerves of awake human subjects and it was possible to judge when afferent nerve fibers of cutaneous origin lay close to the electrode tip by the quality of the insertion paresthesias and the type of peripheral stimuli required to induce afferent responses.
