Ref.: (LML) Effectiveness of sensory re-education in leprosy
From: Karthikeyan G, Allahabad, Uttar Pradesh, India
Dear Dr. Schreuder,
I am an Occupational therapist working in India with The Leprosy Mission Trust India.
I have seen the patients with recovered sensation (touch) after nerve damage due to leprosy, but their perception (cortical representation) of objects in hand seems to be disturbed.
Am interested in sensory re-education after nerve damage in leprosy. I have found one case report from Nigeria, where they reported improvement after intervention.
May I ask the readers to share their experience in effectiveness of sensory re-education in leprosy?
Thanking you,
With every good wishes,
Karthikeyan G,
