Comparison of reliability and efficiency of two modified two-point discrimination tests and two-point estimation tactile acuity test.

Conclusion: The modified TPD testing methods demonstrated similar reliability to previous research, even with reduced runs allowing for increased efficiency in performing the test. The TPE method showed poor reliability, so caution should be applied when using this method.
