Situations when this may occur:

• Nerve impingement
• Neuropathy
• Injury

Ways to mitigate:

• When a person has lower sensation, they need to do tests more consciously and conscientiously. Make sure that your partner:
• Understands how to conduct nerve tests (both motor and sensory),
• that they do so immediately prior to the scene so that they have a baseline for that day,
• that they conduct these tests periodically throughout the scene, and
• that they know to inform you immediately if they detect a change or issue.
• Use caution when placing strain on the part of the body that may be impacted. Your partner may not be able to tell if something is wrong. If you choose to do so, discuss the approach you will use and its risks. Monitor frequently.
• Leverage quick-release techniques so they are in place if needed
