Assessment Tactile Sensory Function (Tactile Sense)

Young adults

其他：Tactile sensation assesment by monofilament test kit

The tactile sensibility of 10 predefined regions of the lower extremity was then evaluated using the Baseline brand tactile monofilament test kit, and the results were recorded. Before starting the procedure, each participant was properly positioned on an examination table first in the supine position and then in the prone position. During the assessment, the lower extremity was placed parallel to the ground. Once the participant was in a comfortable position, they were asked to close their eyes. The same examiner performed all the measurements. To minimize measurement bias, all tests were conducted by the same trained examiner under standardized environmental and procedural conditions. However, the use of a single examiner may limit inter-rater generalizability The monofilament test was applied three times to each predetermined region. Pressure was applied until the monofilament was gentlyently bent. Participants were instructed to say "yes" as soon as they perceived the stimulus, at

Gender

The secondary outcome was to make a comparison according to gender and laterality, whether through the dominant or non-dominant sides. Before the assessment, the laboratory environment was inspected to ensure suitability.
