Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease, 1908, Vol. 35
Sensibility: The tactile sense was found to be absolutely unimpaired in the affected right hand. This sense was tested by the von Frey method; that is, by means of single hairs of different stiffness and also with the camel's hair brush and cotton wool. No difference whatsoever between the sense of tactile sensibility in the normal left hand and affected right hand could be recognized. The slightest touch that could be perceived in one hand could be perceived in the other, and the patient himself could recognize no difference in the tactile perceptions whether tested by a single hair or by the other tests.
Temperature sense tested by test tubes filled with warm and cold water, and pain s'ense tested by the prick of a pin were also found to be normal in the affected hand.
