Receptive field position Forelimb PTNs (%) Hindlimb PTNs (%)
Digits 17 (1, 16) 18 (7, 11)
Palm/Sole 7 (1, 6) 6 (3, 3)
Wrist/Ankle 16 (10, 6) 16 (6, 10)

Percentage of PTNs is indicated with a given receptive field defined by a segment and a joint. Numbers in brackets show portion of PTNs with similar and different (separated by a comma) responses to passive and active limb movements.
