What is sensory motor neuropathy?

Sensorimotor polyneuropathy is a bodywide (systemic) process that damages nerve cells, nerve fibers (axons), and nerve coverings (myelin sheath). Damage to the covering of the nerve cell causes nerve signals to slow or stop. Damage to the nerve fiber or entire nerve cell can make the nerve stop working.

What is the difference between neuropathy and polyneuropathy?

All neuropathies can be categorized by the number of nerves they affect — mononeuropathies affect just one nerve, while polyneuropathies affect multiple nerves. They're further classified by which kind of nerves (motor, sensory, or autonomic) they affect most.

What is neuropathy unspecified?

Overview. Peripheral neuropathy, a result of damage to the nerves located outside of the brain and spinal cord (peripheral nerves), often causes weakness, numbness and pain, usually in the hands and feet. It can also affect other areas and body functions including digestion, urination and circulation.

What is idiopathic peripheral neuropathy?

Idiopathic peripheral neuropathy refers to damage of the peripheral nerves where cause can not be determined. When the peripheral nerves are damaged, there are often symptoms that affect the feet.

What is distal sensory neuropathy?

Distal sensory polyneuropathy (DSP) is probably the most common type of neuropathy associated with diabetes mellitus (DM) and is characterised by symmetric, slowly progressive or static, toe and distal foot numbness, paraesthesias, with or without neuropathic pain, absent Achilles tendon reflexes, and little or no ...

What is sensory neuropathy in feet?

Small fiber sensory neuropathy (SFSN) is a disorder in which only the small sensory cutaneous nerves are affected. The majority of patients experience sensory disturbances that start in the feet and progress upwards. These patients have what is called a length-dependent SFSN.

What is demyelinating sensory neuropathy?

A demyelinating sensorimotor neuropathy is a peripheral nerve dysfunction caused by loss of myelination around the axons of neurons. Demyelinating neuropathies cause motor, sensory, or autonomic symptoms.

Is sensory neuropathy progressive?

Hereditary motor sensory neuropathy (HMSN), also known as Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease, is an inherited, progressive disease of the nerves with weakness and numbness more pronounced in the legs than the arms. Parts of the nerve cells deteriorate.

What is the onset of motor and sensory neuropathy?

Onset is usually in the second to fourth decade of life. This condition has been divided into two subtypes, hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy (hmsn) types i and ii. Hmsn i is associated with abnormal nerve conduction velocities and nerve hypertrophy, features not seen in hmsn ii.

When does neuropathy start?

Onset is usually in the second to fourth decade of life.

What is the cause of nerve damage?
