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
