What Is A Touch Test?
A touch test is a simple test used to assess the sensation and sensitivity of an individual’s skin. It involves the use of a tool or the examiner’s fingertips to touch the skin of the area being tested and ask the individual if they can feel the touch and if it is dull or sharp. The touch test is commonly used in medical settings to diagnose nerve damage or disorders that affect sensation, such as neuropathy or carpal tunnel syndrome.
