The clinical localisation of peripheral nerve lesions can sometimes be difficult, particularly following injury to the brachial plexus when multiple lesions are often present. In this situation, computers may be of assistance in interpreting the complicated patterns of clinical findings. This paper describes the evaluation of a computer program that uses a simulation model of the consequences of nerve injury, based on a representation of the relevant anatomy. A retrospective study of 26 patients with upper limb nerve lesions was carried out. The computer program compared favourably with three clinicians in interpreting the findings correctly. It is suggested that this approach may be transferable to other applications.
周围神经损伤的临床定位有时可能很困难，尤其是在臂丛神经损伤后，往往会出现多处损伤。在这种情况下，计算机可能有助于解读复杂的临床发现模式。本文描述了对一个计算机程序的评估，该程序基于相关解剖结构的表示，使用神经损伤后果的模拟模型。对26例上肢神经损伤患者进行了回顾性研究。在正确解读检查结果方面，该计算机程序与三位临床医生相比表现良好。有人认为这种方法可能适用于其他应用。
