“…The points established with measurements ranging from 2-25 mm were used as a measurement reference. A caliper was positioned perpendicularly over the region to be analyzed so that the two tips touched the skin of the cervical region at the same time, only using the weight of the caliper itself, in an anteroposterior direction with the volunteer in sedestation (Figure 1) 4 . The analyzed region was chosen according to the report of the highest pain intensity reported by the volunteer, and for those who did not report local pain, the point between the C2 and C3 vertebrae was previously established much because it was pointed out as the most symptomatic level, common when neck pain is involved 9,10 .…”

“…The analyzed region was chosen according to the report of the highest pain intensity reported by the volunteer, and for those who did not report local pain, the point between the C2 and C3 vertebrae was previously established much because it was pointed out as the most symptomatic level, common when neck pain is involved 9,10 . Each distance between the tips was tested three times, in random order, and the response with the least perceived distance between the two points was considered to be the one that presented, at least, two repeated responses every three attempts 4 .…”

“…The shorter the distance detected between two ends, the greater the innervation density of slow-adapting fibers and cutaneous receptors functionally present in the skin. Thus, the greater the perceived distance, the worse the tactile acuity and, consequently, the worse the functional impairment of the somatosensory system 4 .…”

OBJECTIVE:The aim of this study was to verify the correlation between tactile acuity, intensity of pain at rest, and movement and functional capacity in individuals with chronic neck pain.METHODS: This was a cross-sectional study composed of two groups: individuals with chronic neck pain and individuals without neck pain. Evaluations were performed using the Numerical Rating Pain Scale at rest and movement, Neck Disability Index, and two-point discrimination test. RESULTS:The final sample consisted of 100 volunteers, 50 in each group. The groups did not show significant differences (p>0.05) in personal characteristics. It was observed that volunteers with cervical pain presented alterations in tactile care, with a significant and clinical increase in the perceived distance (Median 6.66; Cohen's d 7.22;, and yet, positive, moderate, and significant correlation between two-point discrimination test, intensity of pain at rest and movement, and neck disability index (r=0.778-0.789, p<0.05).CONCLUSION: Tactile acuity is associated with pain intensity at rest and movement and functional capacity in individuals with chronic neck pain.

“…Two-point discrimination (TPD) is the ability to consciously detect the minimum distance between two points on the skin-the smaller the distance the better the acuity (Ryan et al 2014). This test has been administered in a variety of ways, at multiple different bodily locations in a range of health conditions and in healthy individuals (Franco et al 2012, Wilstrom and Allen 2016, Won et al 2017. The reliability of these tests varies considerably based upon these factors (Adamczyk et al 2018, Ehrenbrusthoff et al 2018, Wolny and Line 2019.…”

Background: Two-point discrimination (TPD) is an assessment of tactile acuity. People with multiple sclerosis (MS) can have reduced foot sole tactile acuity, which has been linked to impaired balance. Objective: To quantify the test–retest reliability of TPD on the sole of the foot in people with MS. Approach: 41 participants (32 females), with mean (SD) age of 60 (9) years, and Expanded Disability Status Scale of <7.5, had their TPD measured at the head of the first metatarsal and the heel on two occasions, 2–14 d apart. Mean systematic change, within-subjects SD, limits of agreement (LOA), coefficient of variation and the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) were quantified as point estimates (95% CI). Main results: Systematic learning effects were evident. The within-subjects SD at the metatarsal and the heel was 6.7 mm (5.5–8.6) and 8.3 mm (6.7–10.8), and the LOAs were 18.6 mm (15.2–24.) and 23.7 mm (18.7–30.1), respectively. ICCs for metatarsal and heel was 0.87 (0.76–0.93) and 0.90 (0.80–0.95), respectively, but these were likely inflated by sample heterogeneity. Significance: In people with MS, TPD on the sole of the foot has an adequate test–retest reliability for research purposes, but there is substantial measurement variability for individual patients.
