Two Point Discrimination Test

In this experiment, a method called two-point discrimination test was applied. This test can determine which part of the skin can distinguish between two simultaneous sensory impulses. (Haggard et al., 2007), tactile discrimination depends on the size of the receptive field in somatosensory neurons. But the emotional domain of other types of emotions is elsewhere. In the visual sense, we can see that the receptive field is in the visual cortex, and in the auditory sense we can understand the receptive field in the auditory cortex.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is diagnosed by detailed medical history collection, Farren maneuver, percussion test, two-point discrimination test, vibration measurement, monofilament test, distal sensory latency and conduction velocity, distal motor latency conduction, and upper extremity tension test It was. I will take X-rays to check for arthritis and fractures. If you suspect diseases related to carpal tunnel syndrome you can take laboratory examination. Both conservative and surgical options are available to alleviate the pressure on the median nerve. Current conservative therapies include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, occasional rest, local injection of corticosteroids, activity changes, ultrasound therapy, carpal recruitment, magnetic therapy, wrist splints at night and / or daytime, 15-degree extension, sliding motion by tendons including nerves alone or in combination, any measures capable of effectively treating early carpal tunnel syndrome

I will test two points to distinguish it. Patients usually can distinguish between two objects separated by at least 5 mm at the same time. These stimuli are transmitted through the back post. Although it is not frequently checked, it is a useful test if peripheral neuropathy is suspected (such as radial nerve injury). Special examination of early diabetic neuropathy: Cautious feet examination should be done on all patients who suggest sensory neuropathy or have symptoms particularly susceptible to diseases such as diabetic patients. Loss of sensation in this area can be particularly problematic since the foot is a region that is difficult for the patient to evaluate. Small wounds can become very large and infected, but I do not know unknown patients. A sensory test as described above can detect this type of problem. Disposable monofilament for screening evaluation (called Semmes-Weinstein Aethesiometer)

Evaluate whether the haptic sensory function is the ability of a client with three dimensionality, extinction, almost discrimination, and a feeling of two discrimination. Discrimination between one point and two points involves the customer being able to feel whether the nurse gently applied one or two needles. Three-dimensional recognition is the ability to recognize and recognize familiar objects when the eyes are closed. For example, a nurse can pick a pen, button, or paper clip into a customer and determine whether the client can identify the object without visual cueing. Extinction is the ability to identify whether a customer is touched the evaluator through one or two bilateral contacts. For example, a nurse can touch the knees and ask the customer if the client touches 1-2 times when the eyes are closed.
