For testing the sensory threshold in the foot of neurologically affected patients we are using the Semmes-Weinstein Monofilaments.

Now we want to do the statistics on the data but some patients were too insensitive for the strongest filament which they did not feel when we applied it. So we wrote down a value of >6.65 which is not clearly defined as there are no 'stronger' filaments.

How would you treat such a 'value' or piece of information for determining descriptive statistics?

Thanx for your input! Cheers,

Dieter...
