As indicated by a questionnaire, all were in good health and reported that they had a normal sense of smell and visual acuity.

A formidable sense of duty, ferocious patriotism, military acuity and political ingeniousness: the qualities that made de Gaulle the leader who, in the minds of the French, most shaped the second world war were in fact products of the first.
The genes associated with muscle strength, energy metabolism, and sensory nerves -- including those involved in visual acuity and sense of smell -- seem to be undergoing rapid evolution in the tiger.
For many reasons the human sense of touch and therefore tactile acuity decreases in old age (Thornbury and Mistretta 1981; Stevens 1992; Stevens and Patterson 1995; Stevens and Choo 1996; Stevens and Cruz 1996; Sathian et al 1997; Tremblay et al 2003; Dinse et al 2006).
Pressure application via taping reportedly improves proprioception, and localized muscle fatigue (LMF) increases postural sway, which may be due to a loss of position sense acuity (PSA).
They found a significant correlation between joint position sense acuity of the knee as assessed with an ipsilateral remembered matching task and individual walking performance.
