Meanings of tactile acuity in English

Background: Clinical tools assessing tactile acuity in people with persistent pain have limitations.

The results suggest that crossmodal plasticity may underlie tactile acuity enhancement in blindness.

Discussion: The tactile acuity assessments of the iTAD demonstrate moderate reliability and good internal consistency.

Thus, a man and a woman with fingers of equal size will, on average, enjoy equal tactile acuity.

Indeed, when sex and finger size are both considered in statistical analyses, only finger size predicts tactile acuity.

However, concomitant CNS maturation might result in more efficient perceptual processing, counteracting the effect of fingertip growth on tactile acuity.
