Table 1. The Rosén and Lundborg protocol for functional assessment.
| Sensory Domain | ||
| Innervation Critical Sites: Median: Tip of first finger, tip and base of second finger Ulnar: Tip and base of fifth finger, proximal hypothenar |
Sammes-Weinstein monofilaments 0=not testable 1=filament 6.65 score range: 0-15 2=filament 4.56 maximum score for the median nerve: 15 3=filament 4.31 maximum score for the ulnar nerve: 15 4=filament 3.61 5=filament=2.83 |
Score=measured value/maximum score |
| Tactile Gnosis | Two-point discrimination (s2PD) (Second and fifth finger) 0= > 16 mm score range: 0-3 1=11-15 mm maximum score: 3 2=6-10 mm 3=< 5 mm |
Score=measured value/maximum score |
| Shape/Texture Identification Test (STI) Score range: 0-6 (Second and fifth finger) maximum score: 6 |
Score=measured value/maximum score | |
| Dexterity | Sollerman test score range: 0-12 (tasks 4, 8, and 10) maximum score: 12 | Score=measured value/maximum score |
| Mean sensory domain score: | The mean value of the sensory subdomains | |
| Motor Domain | ||
| Innervation | Manual muscle test score 0-5 Median: Palmar abduction Ulnar: Abduction of second and fifth finger, adduction of fifth finger Score range for the median nerve: 0-5 Score range for the ulnar nerve: 0-15 Maximum score for the median nerve: 5 Maximum score for the ulnar nerve: 15 |
Score=measured value /maximum score |
| Grip strength | Jamar dynamometry (kg) Mean of three consecutive measurements, affected and unaffected hands. Maximum score: Result for the unaffected hand |
Score=measured value/maximum score |
| Mean motor domain score: | The mean value of the motor subdomain scores | |
| Pain/Discomfort Domain | ||
| Cold-intolerance or hyperesthesia | Patient perception 0=Not functional score range: 0-3 1=Disturbing maximum score: 3 2=Moderate 3=Functional; only a minor problem |
Score=measured value/maximum score |
| Mean pain/discomfort score: | Mean cold-intolerance and hyperesthesia values | |
| Total Score: | Sum of the scores on the sensory, motor, and pain/discomfort domains | |
