Two points to distinguish feelings

Two-point discrimination: The patient closes his eyes and stimulates two points of skin with a separate pair of feet. If the patient has two points, the distance between the two feet is shortened until the patient feels one point. Each part of the body has different sensitivity to two points of discrimination, with the tip of the tongue, nose, and fingers being the most obvious, and the proximal limbs and trunk being the worst.
