One of the primary ascending pathways is the dorsal column medial lemniscus (DCML).This pathway carries touch, vibration, tactile discrimination, and stereognosis, which is the ability to identify objects placed in the hand using only tactile clues.Without this pathway being intact, a client may have poorer motor control since the sensory information is inadequate.Think of trying to pick up small pegs while wearing a pair of gloves.
