mid-thoracic level


Explanation:
I don't think suggestion can be entirely right -- it would presumably be out of context -- but it does seem that the second word is a misspelling of the Hebrew for "thoracic."

Meaning that the punctuation mark that follows may be a comma rather than a period?

I meant the punctuation mark before. Why wouldn't it make sense for there to be a loss of sensation at the mid-thoracic level? (Of course, it's a guess anyway.)

Notes to answerer
Asker: I was wondering if it means the patient has a sensory mid-thoracic level, but I dont' know for sure?

Asker: How would that help? If it was a comma before it would be discussing vibratory sensation in thoracic spine and that doesn't seem to make sense and if it was a comma after, what would that mean. "At the mid-thoracic level, there is no achilles reflex..." that is why I am really stumped. I can't find any way of wording that makes sense. Thank you so much for your time.

Asker: Since doctor was specifically discussing vibratory sensation, that's what made me wonder. I find no sources at all that anyone would test for vibratory sensation in the thoracic spine? That is what makes me wonder. I have flagged this for now, unless there is a way of knowing for sure.
