The following table describes the IENFD values in males and females of a 3 mm biopsy 10 cm above the lateral malleolus (above ankle outer side of leg). [21] Any value measured below the 0.05 Quantile IENFD values per age span, is considered a reliable positive diagnosis for small fiber peripheral neuropathy. [21]
Those with femoral nerve dysfunction may present problems of difficulties in movement and a loss of sensation. [medical citation needed] The patient, in terms of motor skills, may have problems such as quadriceps wasting, loss of knee extension and a lesser extent of hip flexion given the femoral nerve involvement of the iliacus and pectineus muscles.

Inflammation, erythema, pain and increased skin temperature (3–7 degrees Celsius) around the joint may be noticeable on examination. X-rays may reveal bone resorption and degenerative changes in the joint. These findings in the presence of intact skin and loss of protective sensation are pathognomonic of acute Charcot arthropathy.
Here you can see a typical test where the first lactate threshold is at around 210-215 power output and their second lactate threshold is at 260-265.
Slapping gait makes a slapping noise at the joint of an ankle. Signs and symptoms of peroneal nerve palsy are related to mostly lower legs and foot which are the following: [3] Decreased sensation, numbness, or tingling in the top of the foot or the outer part of the upper or lower leg; Foot drops (unable to hold the foot straight across)
The loss of the spinothalamic tract leads to pain and temperature sensation being lost from the contralateral side beginning one or two segments below the lesion. In addition, if the lesion occurs above T1 of the spinal cord it will produce ipsilateral Horner's syndrome with involvement of the oculosympathetic pathway.
Dissociated sensory loss is a pattern of neurological damage caused by a lesion to a single tract in the spinal cord which involves preservation of fine touch and proprioception with selective loss of pain and temperature. Understanding the mechanisms behind these selective lesions requires a brief discussion of the anatomy involved.
Symptoms vary between subtypes, but generally they can be condensed into a basic summary: individuals with this condition have symptoms that, once present, progress over time (severity increases over time), these include: muscle weakness and atrophy of the distal extremities (mostly involving feet, legs, and the thenar eminence of the hands), loss of sensation of the distal limbs, loss of ...
