Peripheral neuropathy in spinal cord injured patients.
We performed electrophysiological studies on the lower limbs of a group of clinically complete spinal cord injured patients. Our findings indicated a frequent asymmetric sensory and motor nerve involvement at proximal and distal sites. We suggest that mechanical compression and traction is one of etiological factors for such findings.
