OBJECTIVE: Extramedian spread of sensory symptoms is frequent in carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) but its mechanisms are unclear. We explored the possible role of subtle ulnar nerve abnormalities in the pathogenesis of extramedian symptoms. METHODS: We ... Read more...
Slowly adapting mechanoreceptors in the borders of the human fingernail encode fingertip forces.
20 Jul 2009 There are clusters of slowly adapting (SA) mechanoreceptors in the skin folds bordering the nail. These "SA-IInail" afferents, which constitute nearly one fifth of the tactile afferents innervating the fingertip, possess the general discharge ... Read more...
9 Jul 2009 Stimuli that preferentially activate rapidly adapting cutaneous receptors impair proprioception in the fingers. These experiments assessed potential mechanisms. The ability to detect passive movements about interphalangeal joints of the fingers was ... Read more...
