Figure 8 External view and its magnified image of the test touch-glass panel.
To confirm the feasibility of the proposed method, experiments with a test touch-glass panel with defects of scratches and digs are carried out.
Using the phase image reconstructed from the recorded hologram of Figure 15a, the depth data of the dig on the test touch-glass panel is numerically reconstructed, which is shown in Figure 15b as a 3-D form.
We tested touch sensitivity as described by Chen and Chalfie (2014).
Preoperative evaluation consisted of anamnesis, physical examination of the tumour, superficial sensory function testing (touch, pain, and static and dynamic sensory discrimination), muscle tone, and strength examination as well as testing for Hoffmann-Tinel sign.
The physical examination consists of the straight leg raising test, the crossed straight leg raising test, test of Bragard, finger-floor distance, standing on toes and heels, knee tendon reflex, ankle tendon reflex, strength of m. extensor hallicus longus, sensory tests (touch, sharp and blunt) in the dermatomes L5/ S1 in the feet.
Additionally two filaments with forces of 0.08 mN and 0.20 mN were used to expand the test range (Touch Test, Stoelting Co, Wood Dale, IL, USA).
To measure and compare hand function for children with normal hand development, congenital hand differences (CHD), and neuromuscular disease (NMD) using a function test with touch screen technology designed as an iPhone application.
"Unlike with regular apps, it's hard to beta test Smart Touch because the blind population is relatively small," observed the researcher, but embedding the technology in popular apps could speed up the iteration process.
