Considerations for tactile perceptual assessments: impact of arm dominance, nerve, location, and sex in young and older adults
This work highlights the importance of addressing numerous factors and their interactions when assessing tactile perception (e.g., arm dominance, nerve, location, sex, age). Findings can inform the design of improved tactile assessments that more accurately capture why impairments arise, including following a neurological injury.
