Basic Principles
•Cortical representation expands linearly with
use.
• Synchronous inputs lead to fusion of cortical
zones
• Asynchronous inputs lead to segregation of
cortical zones.
•Disuse or De-afferentation leads to invasion
of unused cortical area by nearby neurons.
6. Sensory modulation in spatial
neglect
Novel Techniques
• Peripheral somatosensory- Magnetic
stimulation
• Repetitive optokinetic stimulation
• Neck Vibration training
Drug Treatment is currently unsuccessful
7. Sensory modulation and
Stroke
Rehabilitation aimed to increase use of
paretic hand

• Phantom limb phenomenon
8. Other techniques
Caloric tests for balance
• Brings awareness of illness to
patient.

10. INTERMANUAL REFERRAL OF
SENSATION AND EXTINCTION OF
PAIN IN PERIPHERAL AND
CENTRAL LESIONS OF SOMATO
SENSORY SYSTEM
Whatever the Mind can conceive and Believe,
the mind can Achieve
Napoleon Hill
11. BACKGROUND
Allesthesia and extinction of referral
sensation in brachial plexus lesions
A.V. Srinivasan and V.S. Ramachandran et al (1998)
Intermanual referral of sensations after
central lesions of the somato sensory
system
K. Sathian et al (2000)
Every discovery contains an irrational element or 4 creative intuition
Khrl Popper
12. METHODS
8 patients (19-51 years)
Brachial plexus lesion – one
Amputation – two
Stroke – five
Patients were video filmed in the
movement disorder clinic. Pinprick, cold,
vibration and kinesthesis were tested
MRI & ENMG in all cases
Science is below the mind;
Spirituality is beyond the mind
13. CENTRAL LESION
Stroke
Thalamic stroke - three
Temparo parietal - two
Three to four months later
Ipsilateral arm - no
referral
to leg
When they tell you to grow up, they mean stop growing
14. STROKE Contd…
Intense pressure on the normal hand
resulted in extinction of pain in the stroke
side
Pain returned within one
minute of the pressure
Intense pressure improved
sensory and motor
phenomenon
One is the most independent, unconventional and individualistic of all numbers
15. AMPUTATION
Both the patients (below
elbow & knee amputation)
showed intermanual referral
of sensation within 10 days.
The referred sensations of
touch and vibration lacked
spatial organization and
poor localization with a
relatively high threshold
The Truth is Fear & Immorality are two of the greatest inhibitors of
Performance to progress
16. CASE VIGNETTE (BRACHIAL
PLEXUS LESION)
21 year old girl, after total
brachial plexus lesion was
examined 6 months, 1 ½ &
2 ½ years after the lesion
She had sensations
intermanually referred in a
topographically organized
manner in the phantom limb
“Social Isolation is in itself a pathogenic
Factor for disease production”
18. INTERMANUAL REFERAL AND
EXTINCTION OF PAIN SENSATION
Hemiparesis with Brachial
hemisensory Amputation plexus
deficit
Spatial organi- Poor Poor Excellent
sation
Localisation Good Poor Excellent
Time of After 3 to 4 Immediate Immediate
occurance months with in 7 days with in 7days
Pain After a delay of Immediate Immediate
Extinction 3 - 5 seconds
Reputation is made in a moment;
character is built in a life time
19. DISCUSSION
Anatomical facts
1. Primary somato sensory area 3b
2. A. Primary somato sensory area 1 & 2
2. B. Second somato sensory cortex and
parietal operculum
In 2a & 2b the receptive fields are larger
bilateral and callosal connection are
abundant
Two is the most gentle of all numbers and represents, diplomacy and tact
20. DISCUSSION Contd…
Contralateral referral of sensations was
not found in normal subjects or in
hemiparetic patients without hemi
sensory loss
Neural mechanisms for perceptual
alteration not clear
“Anger Begins In Folly And Ends In Repentance”
21. DISCUSSION Contd…
It appears that a decrease
in somatosensory input to
one cerebral hemisphere
from the contralateral hand
allows responsiveness of
neurons in this hemisphere
to moderately intense
tactile stimuli on the
ipsilateral hand to exceed
perceptual threshold
(which does not normally
occur).
“By Nature All Men/ Women are alike but
by Education widely different” - Chinese
22. CONCLUSION
Intermanual referral & extinction of pain
occurred immediately in amputation and
brachial plexus lesions and after a delay in
stroke
Intermanual referral of sensation occurred
topographicaly organised manner in
brachial plexus lesions but not in
amputation and stroke
Experience can be defined as
yesterday’s answer to today’s problems

30. Higher mental function evaluation
MMSE : 28/30
She was very attentive and quite clear in her
conversation with us, though she would be
complaining of a vague left sided shoulder pain
On lobar testing, she had
Left visual neglect with (L) hemianopia
No auditory neglect
Absent sensory perception in (L) upper limb and (L)
tactile neglect in the lower limb

(Hemisomatognosia) and
somatoparaphrenia
Anosognosia – our patient has it
Body neglect by Bisiach’s test – our
patient does not have it
Somatoparaphrenia – our patient has it

Action without knowledge is foolish

neglect.
Absent proprioception and touch in the left upper
limb
Patient is still able to touch her left arm whatever
position the examiner keeps the arm in.
