Table 4
Number of patients with according hand function score in given temperature score group.
| |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The table shows the number of patients who achieved a given functional score (pain/hypersensitivity, cold intolerance, static 2-point discrimination score, and Semmes-Weinstein monofilament score) in each group of patients who achieved a given thermal discrimination score. The percentage of patients with better functional scores is higher in groups of patients with better thermal discrimination scores. The differences are best seen between groups 1 (no ability to differentiate temperatures) and 5 (normal thermal sensitivity score). |
