Produktbeschreibung
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 sense tested by the prick of a pin were also found to be normal in the affected hand. Bone conduction tested by the tuning fork was rather better appreciated in the affected hand than in the normal hand. Pressure sense was tested to determine qualitative but not quantitative difference in the two hands. For this purpose, objects of different weights were placed on the palmar surface of the fingers and on the palms, and pressure was exerted by the examining finger. There was found to be a very marked difference between the two hands as shown for instance by the fact that an iron paper weight weighing approximately two pounds pressing by one corner on a circumscribed spot, felt light to the right affected hand, but heavy to the left hand. Pressure exerted by the examining finger until it was forcibly hyper-extended over the dorsal of the phalanx was not felt more forcibly than very light pressure similarly applied to a corresponding spot on the left hand. Perception of posture of the fingers was practically lost. They could be flexed, extended, abducted and adducted, at the different joints without the patient being aware of the position which the fingers assumed. In fact, the patient said with his eyes shut he had no idea where his fingers were. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
