Plantar sensory threshold in the ulcerative foot
Open accessAbstract
Pressure threshold measurements were made using a set of three Semmes-Weinstein monofilaments on 132 plantar u\cer sites in 72 leprosy patients and 45 plantar u\cer sites in 28 diabetic patients.The most common sites of u\ceration were the great toe and first metatarsal head.No patient could feel monofilaments smaller than 6•\0 (75 g).The next smallest filament, 5•07 (10 g), was identified as the level of protective sensation in leprosy patients who customari1y use fo otwear.Similar results were shown in a small group of diabetic patients.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
