Gnostic rings: usefulness in sensibility evaluation and sensory reeducation.
The benefit of additional clinical tools for quantifying patients' ability to recognize objects is clear, as well as its correlation with the moving two-point discrimination test. The recognition of letters is such a tool. The authors describe gnostic rings, an additional technique, that is useful for clinical sensibility testing, as well as for sensory reeducation.
