 The
deficits are IPSI and involve T1 and below. The
deficits includes two point disc. vibration sense, conscious
proprioception, astereognosis and agraphesthesia. If you add
these deficits to the loss of pain, temperature, and crude
touch from T2 and T3 (from cutting the ascending C and delta
fibers discussed above in #1), you can see that spinal
levels T2 and T3 are, like T1, ANESTHETIC. Any
problems in coordination from a lesion of the dorsal columns
are overshadowed by other deficits (spasticity and muscle
atrophy) to be discussed.
