| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The aim of this research project was to develop a tactile stimulus presentation device to evaluation of pain sensation caused by hypoesthesia tactile perception due to lifestyle-related diseases. First, this study conducted an interview survey of medical staffs to obtain knowledge on the perceptuals and cognitive processes of patients' verbal expressions of pain sansation. Next, we carried out an experiment to determine the problems with the pain testing method, and showed the factors that reduce the amount of stimulation due to the examiner's manual operation and the number of compressions. Then, we developed a new tactile sensory measurement device capable of early detection of somatosensory impairment, and compared factors such as posture and age. In conclusions, this research project obtained knowledge for use in clinical practice based on these results.
