The correlation of cognitive capacity with recovery of hand sensibility after peripheral nerve injury of upper extremity

The aim of this study is to determine the correlation of cognitive
ability with functional sensibility. METHOD: 130 patients with median and ulnar
nerve repair at the distal forearm level and wrist level were included. Mean time
since surgery and age were 44.35 months (range 23-68) and, 33.44 years (range
18-71), respectively. The patients underwent an assessment of sensory function of
the hand and a battery of specific tests for cognitive capacity. RESULTS: A
multiple linear regression analysis demonstrated a significant correlation
between functional sensibility and cognitive capacity [Block design test
(Beta=0.40, p=0.00); Reaction time (Beta=-0.32, p=0.00); The Stroop color word
test (Beta=0.16, p=0.04)]. DISCUSSION: The results suggested that, cognitive
capacity factors are associated with functional sensibility after nerve repair.
These results may be mentioned cognitive rehabilitation programs would enhanced
functional outcome following nerve repair.
