Explaining a new method for
detecting injury of pressure on
nerves stemming from the spinal
man of the Department of Surgery

of the patient can be appraised
oacilv hv neurologists of neuro
logic surgeons in determining the
extent of nerve injury.
The interpretation is based on a
chart developed by Dr. Keegan
shoeing the skin distribution and
relative sensitivity of spinal nerves
in all parts or the Doay. mis re
coarrh nil tlinrrl spveral new nerve
areas, particularly of the arm and
leg.
