Abstract
• Skin wrinkling of the fingers following immersion in warm water depends on intact sympathetic innervation. It is abolished by lesions affecting both central and peripheral sympathetic pathways. It affords a simple and reliable clinical test of sympathetic function.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
