Normative Reference Value for Tactile Localization Acuity among School-going Children: A Normative Research.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aim

Tactile localization (TL) is one of the standard assessments to be performed under combined cortical sensory assessment. TL is the ability to locate the point of sensory contact and surprisingly, till date there is no normal reference available for estimating TL. Hence, there is a need to calculate the normative reference of TL among school-going children aged between 8 and 13 years.

Materials and methods

A total of 365 healthy school-going children aged between 8 and 13 years were included in this cross-sectional observational study. Children with any neurological condition and other conditions, which prevent them from taking part in the study were excluded. The sample was recruited by stratified random sampling method from the recognized schools in Ambal
