论文摘要
传统上，临床医生使用调谐叉作为二进制措施来评估颤息夹的感觉感知。该方法的测量分辨率较低，并且振动高度可变。因此，我们建议使用智能手机的振动进行一致，精确的感觉测试。首先，我们证明与调谐叉相比，智能手机具有更一致的振动。然后，我们开发一个应用程序并进行验证研究，以表明智能手机可以精确测量用户的绝对阈值。这一发现激发了未来的工作，使用智能手机来评估颤息夹的感知，从而增加监视和广泛的可访问性。
Traditionally, clinicians use tuning forks as a binary measure to assess vibrotactile sensory perception. This approach has low measurement resolution, and the vibrations are highly variable. Therefore, we propose using vibrations from a smartphone to deliver a consistent and precise sensory test. First, we demonstrate that a smartphone has more consistent vibrations compared to a tuning fork. Then we develop an app and conduct a validation study to show that the smartphone can precisely measure a user's absolute threshold. This finding motivates future work to use smartphones to assess vibrotactile perception, allowing for increased monitoring and widespread accessibility.
