Figure 1. Impairment in contact (touch) detection on the chin. Shown are the geometric least-squares means of the impairment ratio with 95% confidence intervals at 1, 3, and 6 mos post-surgery. Sensory thresholds were obtained 1, 3, and 6 mos post-surgery on 89, 89, and 88 people in the sensory re-training group and on 89, 90, and 87 people in the ’opening only’ group.

Figure 2. Impairment in two-point discrimination on the chin. Shown are the geometric least-squares means of the impairment ratio with 95% confidence intervals at 1, 3, and 6 mos post-surgery. Sensory thresholds were obtained 1, 3, and 6 mos post-surgery on 89, 89, and 88 people in the sensory re-training group and on 90, 91, and 86 people in the ’opening only’ group.
