Quantitation of Touch-Pressure Sensation
Abstract
Touch-pressure sensation at regularly spaced points on the index finger and great toe of humans of various ages was measured using a recently developed instrument which allows for exact placement of stylus tip, exact stylus area, and wide range of intensity of stimuli with defined and constant wave form. The threshold of touch-pressure sensation was higher in the toe than in the finger, in the old than in the young, and, in persons over the age of 40 years, in men than in women. If our sampling is sufficient, these differences cannot be explained entirely on the basis of a less-dense distribution of receptors.

In the citing paper
“It has been widely demonstrated that tactile sensibility declines with age, as evidenced by increased sensory thresholds (Dyck et al. 1972;Gescheider et al. 1994;Thornbury and Mistretta 1981;Verrillo 1980) and decreased spatial acuity (Manning and Tremblay 2006;Stevens and Choo 1996;Stevens and Patterson 1995;Tremblay et al. 2003;Woodward 1993).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
