Semmes-Weinstein nylon monofilaments are used to evaluate recovery of cutaneous pressure threshold in adults recovering from median nerve repair at the wrist level. Of the 46 patients studied, 22 received a program of sensory reeducation. The nylon monofilament measurements accurately described the improvement in recovered sensation following nerve repair. There was a statistically significant better recovery (lower threshold) in patients receiving sensory reeducation, which was present in those less than 30 years old (P less than .003) as well as those greater than 30 years old (P less than .05). However, normal thresholds were not recovered in these patient populations.
Semmes-Weinstein尼龙单丝用于评估手腕水平正中神经修复术后成人皮肤压力阈值的恢复情况。在研究的46例患者中，22例接受了感觉再教育计划。尼龙单丝测量准确描述了神经修复后感觉恢复的改善情况。接受感觉再教育的患者恢复情况在统计学上显著更好（阈值更低），这在30岁以下患者（P<0.003）以及30岁以上患者（P<0.05）中均有体现。然而，这些患者群体并未恢复到正常阈值。
