“Ten Test” (TT) is a bedside measure of discriminative sensation, whereby the
magnitude of abnormal sensation to moving light touch is normalized to an area of normal
sensation on an 11-point Likert scale (0e10). The purposes of this study were to determine reliability
parameters of the TT in a cohort of patients presenting to a hand trauma clinic with subjectively
altered sensation post-injury and to compare the reliability of TT to that of the
Weinstein Enhanced Sensory Test (WEST). Study participants (n Z 29, mean age Z 37 12)
comprised patients presenting to an outpatient hand trauma clinic with recent hand trauma
and self reported abnormal sensation. Participants underwent TT and WEST by two separate
raters on the same day. Interrater reliability, response stability and responsiveness of each test
were determined by the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC: 2, 1), standard error of measurement
(SEM) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) and minimal detectable difference score,
with 95% CI (MDD95), respectively. The TT displayed excellent interrater reliability
(ICC Z 0.95, 95% CI 0.89e0.97) compared to good reliability for WEST (ICC Z 0.78, 95% CI
0.58e0.89). The range of true scores expected with 95% confidence based on the SEM (i.e.
response stability), was 1.1 for TT and 1.1 for WEST. MDD95 scores reflecting test responsiveness
were 1.5 and 1.6 for TT and WEST, respectively. The TT displayed excellent reliability
