Vibration Perception Thresholds of Skin Mechanoreceptors Are Influenced by Different Contact Forces
Determining vibration perception thresholds (VPT) is a central concern of clinical research and science to assess the somatosensory capacity of humans. The response of different mechanoreceptors to an increasing contact force has rarely been studied. We hypothesize that increasing contact force lead...
