title: The patient with sensory loss.
abstract: The psychosocial ramifications of the loss of sensation are subtle and often are not perceived. One hundred Hansen's disease patients were interviewed concerning their experiences of living with sensory loss on their hands and feet. Their responses to the questions may assist medical practitioners in the treatment of the effects of the disease.
