Localization of sensory deficits (n = 87 patients). The lower limbs were divided into four regions: left and right leg with an upper region reaching from buttocks to knee, and a lower region from knee to toes. Light blue spots indicate reduced sensibility and dark blue spots missing sensibility. One patient could have several regions with reduced or missing sensibility. The spots were only marked in relation to the body showing the ventral perspective.
