the problem of discrimination between two stationary ar(p) plus noise processes is consideredwhen the noise process are different in two models. the discrimination rule leads to a quadratic form withcumbersome matrices. an approximate and analytic form is given to distribution of the discriminant. thesimulation study has been used to show the performance of discrimination rule. the cumulants of...

[Purpose] The aim of this study was to compare two-point discrimination (TPD) perception in stroke patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) and without diabetes mellitus (non-DM). [Subjects] The subjects were 53 poststroke hemiparetic patients (21 stroke patients with DM; 32 stroke patients without DM). [Methods] TPD was measured on the tips of the first through fifth fingers on both the affected a...

BACKGROUND Diabetic neuropathy is a family of nerve disorders with progressive loss of nerve function in 15% of diabetes mellitus (DM) subjects. Two-point discrimination (TPD) is one method of quantitatively testing for loss of nerve function. The law of mobility for TPD is known for normal subjects in earlier studies but has not been studied for diabetic subjects. This is a pilot study to eval...

Diabetic neuropathy is one of the most important factors for foot ulceration in diabetes mellitus (DM) patients. Among different sensibility measures of neuropathy, two-point discrimination (TPD) has been suggested as a reliable method; however, the correlation of TPD with other well-known measures is not known. We measured the loss of protective sensation using Semmes-Weinstein Monofilaments (...

Pitch discrimination interference (PDI) refers to an impairment in the ability to discriminate changes in the fundamental frequency (F0) of a target harmonic complex, caused by another harmonic complex (the interferer) presented simultaneously in a remote spectral region. So far, PDI has been demonstrated for target complexes filtered into a higher spectral region than the interferer and contai...

[Purpose] This study aimed to examine the effects of muscle fatigue on skin sensation by looking at changes in two-point discrimination (2PD) after inducing muscle fatigue. [Subjects] Thirty-four young and healthy adults with no pathological symptoms (17 males; 17 females) participated in this study. [Methods] Continuous isometric contraction was applied to the upper and lower extremities with ...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate two-point discrimination (2PD) sense and kinesthetic sense dysfunctions in carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) patients compared with a healthy group. METHODS The 2PD sense, muscle force, and kinesthetic differentiation (KD) of strength; the range of motion in radiocarpal articulation; and KD of motion were assessed. RESULTS The 2PD sense assessment...
