Somatosensory-Evoked Potentials and Clinical Assessments of Sensory Function Over Time in Patients With Subacute Stroke.

ABSTRACT: Objective: To demonstrate the utility of somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) following median nerve stimulation for chronological assessment of sensory function in patients with subacute stroke during rehabilitation. Design: Retrospective study. Patients: Forty-seven patients with hemiparesis due to stroke during the subacute phase. Methods: We screened 363 patients who underwent SEP measurements at a rehabilitation hospital. Among them, 47 who underwent SEP measurements within 1 week after admission and at least 2 weeks after the initial assessment were included in this study. Sensorimotor assessments, including the Semmes-Weinstein monofilament test (SWMT), pain sensation, position sensation, two-point discrimination, and Stroke Impairment Assessment Set (S
