Predicting the diameter of dorsal column (DC) fibers activated based on clinical thresholds.

<p>The percentage of MRG model DC fibers (<i>denoted by circles and squares</i>) activated at the sensory (<i>top</i>) and discomfort (<i>bottom</i>) thresholds compared to the percent activation expected (<i>denoted by solid and dashed lines</i>) based on the number of dermatomes reported at the corresponding clinical thresholds (see <a href="http://www.plosone.org/article/info:doi/10.1371/journal.pone.0114938#s2" target="_blank">Methods</a>). The filled shapes indicate the fiber diameters that yielded the smallest percent difference between the former and latter cases.
