Use the descriptions of dysfunction given below to identify which somatosensory tracts/pathways of the spinal cord would produce these effects, if damaged. A patient is unable to perform smooth, controlled movements, unless looking at the limbs they intend to move. Even then, they must concentrate and movement is slow, deliberate, and unrefined. Her ( ) tract is damaged. A patient is unable to perceive crude touch and deep pressure. Visceral motor responses are nonfunctional. Her ( ) tract is damaged. A patient is unable to perceive fine touch and pressure when running fingers lightly over a desk. Her ( ) tract is damaged.
