Merkel discs are active below 6.3 Hz, and Meissner’s corpuscles are activated between16 and 32 Hz.6,10,14,18 These unique properties of individual MRs have been used to develop vibrometry techniques to identify information about the innervating nerve.52–54

2005, Journal of Hand TherapyCitation Excerpt :Innervation density represents the number of innervated sensory receptors and can be assessed with two-point discrimination (2pd). Threshold testing of the sensory receptors will permit the earliest quantification of changes occurring with chronic nerve compression.32,44,49,52,53,61–65 Alterations in the innervation density will not occur until the later stages of chronic nerve compression and measures of two-point discrimination will remain normal until the patient has more severe nerve compression.11,32,66,67
