Normative data for cutaneous threshold and spatial discrimination in the feet

ABSTRACT Introduction No data are available for normative values of cutaneous threshold and spatial discrimination in the feet. We developed clinically applicable reference values in relation to the nerve distributions of the feet. Methods We determined foot sensation in 196 healthy individuals. Cut...

Zusammenfassung:ABSTRACT Introduction No data are available for normative values of cutaneous threshold and spatial discrimination in the feet. We developed clinically applicable reference values in relation to the nerve distributions of the feet. Methods We determined foot sensation in 196 healthy individuals. Cutaneous threshold (1‐point static discrimination, S1PD) was tested with monofilaments (0.008 to 300 gram) and spatial discrimination (2‐point static [S2PD] and moving [M2PD] discrimination) on five locations per foot. Results There was a significant age‐dependent increase in S1PD, S2PD, and M2PD values (P
