title: Sensory testing: a sensitive method in the follow-up of nerve involvement.
abstract: Sensory testing (ST) as a parameter in assessing nerve damage and as a guide in anti-reaction treatment is discussed in comparison with established methods like voluntary muscle testing (VMT) and motor nerve conduction velocity (MCV). Sensory testing is shown to be a valuable addition to the existing tests and may even be used as a single parameter.
