“…Any 2pd values in the literature pertain to static 2pd, with a general agreement that m2pd thresholds are lower and more 1 closely related to hand function, than static 2pd thresholds (Dellon and Kallman, 1983;Dellon, 1984;Louis et al, 1984). Thus m2pd cutoffs obtained in my study may be a good predictor of hand function.…”

“…However they would lend useful information to that obtained by a clinical sensory cvaluation. SEP have also been found to correlate weil to motor function in high risk newborns and CP children (Logan et al, 1991;Majnemer et al, 1987). Thus it would be of interest to further study the relationship between SEP recordings, and the level of ~ensory and motor disability in CP children.…”

“…Therefore evaluation of sensory function using SEP alone could be misleading wh en attempting to identify sensory deficits in CP children. Majnemer et al (1987) evaluated the prognostic utillty of SEP ln a group of 34 high-risk newborns. Abnormal SEP (10/34) performed in the neonatal period predicted motor disturbances at 1 year of age (e.g.…”

“…no specifie cut-offs have been described which would help delineate a normal tram an abnormal 2pd threshold (Jones, 1989). Norms have been provided for 2pd for different reglons of the upper and lower limbs (Gellis and Pool, 1977;Louis et al, 1984;Nolan, 1983). Studies by both Gellis and Pool (1977), and Louis et al (1984) evaluated 2pd in a wide age range of healthy contrais (7-86 years; 4-92 years respectively).…”

“…Thus this IS the flrst study of its kind to analyze the relationship between clinlcal sensory and motor function. f SEP have been reported to be a sensitive electrophysiological tool for predicting functional outcome in CP children and high-risk newborns (Logan et al, 1991;Majnemer et al, 1987). Laget et al (1976) reported that SE P were a better predictor of motor impairment than EEGs, in their study of 43 hemiplegic children.…”

Cerebral paisy is a non-progressive disorder associated with brain in jury, detect, or dlsease, of early onset. Emphasis IS placed on the more easily observable motor deficits, with any underlying sensory deficits often being overlooked. Existing sensory assessments have either been standardized on an adult population or for a paediatric population without significant neuromotor impalrment. Thus, there is a need to formulate a standardized sensory assessment battery that may be used to evaluate physically handicapped children. A review of the literature hlghlights the necessity to evaluate the presence and extent of sensory dysfunction in school-age hemipleglc children, us mg a standardlzed clinical sensory assessment battery, as weil as somatosensory evoked potentials.A relJable sensory battery, which asses ses 5 sensory modalltl8s, was formulated and normative data for school-age chlldren was derived. Sensory function was evaluated in 9 hemiplegic children (4-19 years) and 18 healthy age-matched controls. Significant bilateral sensory deficits were documented in hemiplegic childr9n. Thus a sensory assessment should be an integral part of the evaluation of a child with hemiplegia .

Static two‐point discrimination (2PD) has been relied upon clinically to gauge the extent of median neuropathy in patients with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). Correlation with median nerve sensory conduction findings has not been well‐established. We determined the median sensory nerve action potential parameters from the first and third digits of 83 hands referred primarily for suspected CTS. These results were compared to 2PD carried out in a standardized fashion by a group of hand surgeons. A lack of correlation was found in most electrodiagnostic parameters, with the exception of peak and onset latencies to the thumb; on further analysis, 2PD to the thumb was found to be useful if abnormal, but contributed nothing if negative. We conclude that static 2PD results may correlate with latency, but do not overall adequately predict the findings on sensory nerve conduction examination of the median nerve. © 1999 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
