title: Gnostic rings: usefulness in sensibility evaluation and sensory reeducation.
abstract: 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.
