  • Abstract
  • Look Inside

Skin writing test is one of methods in cli-nical sensory examination. It is seemed that higher integrating function of many cutaneo-us senses could be examined by this method. For this purpose, the method of writing se-veral simple numerals on the skin has been adopted.

In this paper many basic studies of this method are reported. Japanese alphabet is not suitable for using it in this method, as it has so complex characters. Letters of 4cm in diameter written on the skin with a penho-lder were easier to recognize than those wri-tten with a steel pen. Large letters were easier recognized than small ones. The rate of errors on different parts of the body was higher in the following order: back, back of the hand, forearm, breast, palm and finger. This result seems to show a close correlation with two-point threshold, or tactile localization on those parts. The most adequate speed of writing a numeral on the skin is three seco-nds, as it will be more difficult to recognize in using more slow or rapid speed than three seconds. Letters should he written in a ce-rtain intensity to have a good result. The direction of writing letters has no relation to the rate of errors.
