“…All measures of sensory thresholds were conducted with the subject's eyes closed and in a silent environment (Schreuders, Selles, van Ginneken, Janssen, & Stam, 2008;Voerman, van Egmond, & Crul, 2000). Subjects remained standing and motionless with their dominant arm passively resting supine on a cushioned tabletop, their shoulder abducted 90°and horizontally abducted 45°(resting position).…”

The objectives of this study were to assess the sex-specific relationships between motor and sensory adaptations to repetitive arm motion-induced neck/shoulder fatigue, and to measure how additional sensory stimulation affects these adaptations. Twenty-three participants performed two sessions of a repetitive pointing task until scoring 8 on the Borg CR10 scale for neck/shoulder exertion or for a maximum of 45 min, with and without sensory stimulation (i.e., light touch) applied on the fatiguing shoulder. Just before reaching the task termination criteria, all participants showed changes in mean and variability of arm joint angles and experienced a fivefold increase in anterior deltoid sensory threshold in the stimulus-present condition. Women with the greatest increases in anterior deltoid sensory thresholds demonstrated the greatest increases in shoulder variability (r = .66), whereas men with the greatest increases in upper-trapezius sensory thresholds demonstrated the greatest changes in shoulder angle (r = −.60) and coordination (r = .65) variability. Thus, sensory stimulation had no influence on time to termination but affected how men and women differently adapted, suggesting sex differences in sensorimotor fatigue response mechanisms.

“…24,25 In this study, SWMs were used on four sites each on the upper and lower limbs. For statistical analysis, to allow comparison with previous studies, [26][27][28] we converted the filament size into the ordinal scale to be able to calculate ICC(2,1): 1 represented normal sensation; 2, diminished light touch; 3, diminished protective sensation; 4, loss of protective sensation; and 5, untestable or deep pressure sensation only.…”

Background: Sensory disturbances are a major problem for people with multiple sclerosis (MS), and up to 80% of people with MS present with various sensory deficits. To date, only one study has investigated the reliability of sensory measures in people with MS. We sought to determine the interrater reliability of the verbal analogue scale (VAS), the Erasmus MC modifications to the revised Nottingham Sensory Assessment (EmNSA), Semmes-Weinstein monofilaments (SWMs), and the neurothesiometer (NT) in people with MS.

“…Our finding regarding the correlations between strength, dexterity and sensation and M A N U S C R I P T A C C E P T E D ACCEPTED MANUSCRIPT 10 perceived manual ability as measured by the MAM-36 are less than those reported by others. 1,9,14,26 Slightly higher correlations were reported between hand function as measured by a performance based tests (Sollerman) and grip and pinch strength, dexterity, and sensation but the correlations were still mainly in the moderate range 1,26 while good to excellent correlations were reported by Eklund et al, between the DASH and grip strength and the Nine-hole Peg Test. 12 The lower correlations found in our study could be due to the smaller sample size or older age of our sample.…”
