    Semmes Weinstein Monofilaments is used to assess cutaneous pressure thresholds.

  2. Pinch-holding-up-activity test

    Time frame: baseline

    The pinch apparatus is aims to assess the ability to modulate pinch force to movement-induced load fluctuations in a pinch-holding-up activity (PHUA).

  3. Manual Tactile Test

    Time frame: baseline

    Manual tactile test (MTT) aims to assess the capacity of barognosis, roughness differentiation and stereognosis.

  4. Purdue pegboard test
