Touch Test Project

This is the Touch Test, a project designed to measure tactile sensitivity and understand individual tactile characteristics.

Just as a vision test evaluates visual function, a tactile test is a method for evaluating tactile function.The test results help determine the possibility of tactile hypersensitivity or tactile hypoesthesia. By identifying tactile characteristics early and implementing appropriate measures tailored to individual needs, it is possible to provide effective support in educational and workplace settings, thereby improving the quality of daily life.
