Sensory Reeducation in the hand with peripheral nerve injury of upper extremity

Abstract

This study gave an outline of Sensory Reeducation in the hand with peripheral nerve injury of upper extremities.
Special quality of Sensory mechanoreceptors such as Meissner corpuscle, Pacinian corpuscle and Merkel cell neurite complex, could be applied to concrete evaluation and treatment.
Five-step method, defining contents in program with a concrete measure, is regarded as concrete measure and promised some advantages.
Motor and sensory approach was more effective prognosis for the hand than only functional approaches.
