For ambulatory patients, lack of sensory clues while
moving around their environment may increase the likelihood of falls or other injuries.
In the case of an emergency, the anxiety inherent in the situation could make a fall or
a major error in judgement (for example going through the woring door and ending up in a
dangerous location like a stairwell or utility area) much more likely to
occur.

Loss of senses, particularly hearing and/or vision,
may contribute to a sense of isolation, resulting in slowed responses to stimulus,
depression, and possibly dementia. Loss of sense of taste and/or smell leads to lack of
appetite and possible dehydration or nutritional imbalance. This could then result in
various other problems.

Lack of sensation can result in
pressure sores, foot sores, or other skin or circulatory
problems.
