I think maybe large sensory are involved now. There are both large sensory and motor fibers. Emg/ncs can see large sensory fiber damage but not small sensory fiber loss.

I have all 3, large and small fiber sensory and motor.

There were times when I couldn't tell when they were holding my toe up or down, and sometimes I couldn't feel them holding it at all. It felt like my arm was over there??? It also felt like my joints were bent in unnatural positions. Thankfully, it has improved.

I would have to look at the ground to walk. My gait was bad because I had forgotten how to position my step. With motor fibers it is hard to step regardless of how it does or doesn't feel. They are completely different. I also, would fall if I closed my eyes or walked in the dark. Physical therapy was critical. I learned how to position my step and improve my balance.

Reflexes are a good indicator of motor involvement.

Are you able to walk with a walker or if you look at the ground?
