Several neurological, metabolic and psychological conditions may lead to tactile dysfunctions. Quantitative Sensation Tests (QST) are currently available for the assessment of tactile sensitivity, including light touch testing, monofilament tests, and vibration-based tests.

Abstract
Several neurological, metabolic and psychological conditions may lead to tactile dysfunctions. Quantitative Sensation Tests (QST) are currently available for the assessment of tactile sensitivity, including light touch testing, monofilament tests, and vibration-based tests. However, standard QSTs display a high intra- and inter-individual variability. To this end, we developed new interface that generates 2D motion of a contact plate, provides hand and finger tracking, and measures contact force and torque. Due to these multiple features, the device can be a powerful tool for the evaluation of touch in both, active and passive tasks.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
