Very poor report. No substantiation that the huge group of patients mentioned had RSD as opposed to symptom magnification, compensation neurosis, etc. I suspect that the patients were over diagnosed and over treated.

Notes the rarity of reflex sympathetic dystrophy and the need to avoid making this diagnosis incorrectly.
4. Stokes, H.M., “The seriously uninjured hand-weakness of grip.”
A classic. It suggests that serial grip results in a skewed bell curve whether or not the subject is injured. It also suggests that malingers will exhibit a flattened grip curve. However, false positives are not accounted for so it must be carefully interpreted.
