Abstract

Purpose: To investigate the effects of tactile discrimination feedback sensory compensatory system device training on finger sensory-based motor dysfunction after cervical cord injury. Case Presentation: A patient with finger sensorimotor dysfunction following cervical cord injury underwent treatment using an ABB design, with each treatment period lasting 1 week. The patient performed daily pegboard, building block stacking, and material identification task tests over a 1-week period. The Purdue Pegboard Test, a behavioural measure

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a case report, done in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
