In this paper the recovery after repair of the median nerve has been used to compare different assessment tools for evaluation of peripheral nerve function: touch (moving 2-point discrimination (2PD); Semmes-Weinstein (SW) monofilament, motor (Medical Research Council (MRC) scale), combined motor and sensory (Dellon modification of the Moberg pick up test; Moberg Recognition test), and pain (visual analogue scale; pinprick-test). The mean (SD) age of our 28 patients was 28 (12) years. The mean (SD) follow-up period was 5 years, 2 months (2 years, 8 months). On the operated side three patients (11%) had a moving 2PD of less than 4 mm. The results of the moving 2PD were compared with those of the SW monofilaments, but with a poor correlation. The MRC score correlated well with opposition movement of the thumb and muscle wasting (p<0.01). We recommend a number of tests to evaluate (the chronological return of) peripheral nerve function.
在本文中,通过正中神经修复后的恢复情况,对评估周围神经功能的不同评估工具进行了比较:触觉(移动两点辨别觉(2PD);Semmes-Weinstein(SW)单丝)、运动功能(医学研究委员会(MRC)分级)、运动和感觉联合功能(Dellon改良的Moberg拾物试验;Moberg识别试验)以及疼痛(视觉模拟评分法;针刺试验)。我们的28例患者的平均(标准差)年龄为28(12)岁。平均(标准差)随访时间为5年2个月(2年8个月)。在手术侧,3例患者(11%)的移动两点辨别觉小于4mm。将移动两点辨别觉的结果与SW单丝的结果进行比较,但相关性较差。MRC评分与拇指对掌运动和肌肉萎缩相关性良好(p<0.01)。我们推荐了一些测试来评估周围神经功能(按时间顺序的恢复情况)。
