Abstract
This paper has an interesting premise: based on the research of Terzis and Michelow,[1] it is hypothesized that intact afferent fibers adjacent to regions of denervation may supply adequate “compensatory” innervation by means of overlapping receptive fields and “sprouting” of new fibers off the adjacent intact fibers. This is in contrast to Dellon's belief,[2] that sensation is restored via a regenerative sequential process, which takes much more time. A method of therapeutic sensory re-education is discussed, based on the assumption that distal sensory perception in regions of denervation occurs by a compensatory, rather than a regenerative, process.
