The functional limb sensation following targeted reinnervation could be used to provide prosthesis users with a sense of touch.
As a functional correlate, corneal sensation has been found to decrease with increasing neuropathic severity (17).
Clinical interview questions covered aspects of hand problems such as location (one or both hands, worst hand), handedness, history and duration, specific symptoms (pain, tenderness, aching or discomfort, stiffness, locking or triggering, altered sensation), functional limitation, impact of and adaptation to hand problems, self management, and causal and diagnostic attributions.
Such claims could be affirmed, however, if (as seems likely) the most plausible functional theories define sensations such as pain in terms of a small subset of their distinctive psychological, rather than behavioral, effects (see section 4.2).
In his lecture on metaphysics as in his paper "Leib und Seele," Stumpf's main target is Mach's phenomenalism and neutral monism, which amounts to reducing physical objects and subjectivity to functional relations between sensations (or elements) and inevitably leads, according to Stumpf, to idealism and solipsism.
These data suggest that hyper-reinnervation also plays a role in the high level of functional recovery of cutaneous sensation.
TRPC2 was recently shown to be activated by sulphated steroids, an effect suggested to have functional importance in odor sensation of rodents [55].
For example, it is difficult to decide which intervention is more effective if one intervention reduces the number of functional limitations and reduces pain sensation, while another improves social functioning en emotional well-being.
Included are studies of physiological ecology, evolutionary physiology, stress physiology, functional morphology and movement, animal sensation, computational and systems neuroscience, and environmental genomics".
