Skin wrinkling (SW) is a normal response to water immersion (WI) that is impaired after peripheral nerve injury. The mechanism appears toinvolve passive diffusion of water across the stratum corneum into the sweat ducts. This alters electrolyte balance and increases sympathetic neuralfiring causing vasoconstriction. SW results from a decreased digital volume relative to surface
