Tactile sensory threshold from quantitative sensory tests, two point discrimination from cortical senses, pressure pain threshold measured by algometer will be examined during and after the rubber hand burning, which causes changes in body perception.

Semmes-Weinstein monofilaments (SWM) are widely used for reproducible testing and measurement of tactile sensory threshold. The sizes of Semmes-Weinstein monofilaments increase on a logarithmic scale. It is made with nylon (line) monofilaments of approximately the same length. To apply, monofilaments are kept perpendicular to the skin and brought into contact. When the pressure is increased and the end point of the filament reaches the forcing threshold, the filament bends. Even if pressure is continued after the filaments are bent, there is no increase in the pressure felt on the skin. For this reason, when the monofilaments are inclined, since no more pressure can be applied with that filament, it is questioned whether the patient is felt or not. Three applications should be made to the patient with the same filament.

Two point discrimination (TPD) is the ability to distinguish between two points that are brought into contact with the skin at the same time and with the same pressure, that they are actually two separate points, not one. It was described by Ernest Heinrich Weber (1846). Blunt tip static and mobile TPD is usually tested using Disk-Criminator. Two points are brought into contact with the skin with a compass-like instrument or a compass. It can randomly switch between touching and touching a point or two points in the area being tested. The person being tested is asked to say how many points he felt. The smallest distance resulting in the perception of two different stimuli is recorded as the patient's two point discrimination threshold.

Pain pressure threshold is defined as the minimum pressure value that creates a perception of pain. The test determines the amount of pressure in a particular area as soon as an ever-increasing painless pressure stimulus turns into a painful feeling of pressure. The pressure algometer (dolorimeter) used for this test is a device used to evaluate sensitivity to pain. The mechanical method using the pressure sensor provides ease of use, is harmless to the patient, and has acceptable reliability and repeatability. Light pressure is applied to the body area to be tested with the algometer. The intensity of the pressure is increased gradually. The participant is asked to say the moment he feels the sensation of pain instead of pressure during the algometric measurement. The amount of pressure that causes pain is recorded as the pressure pain threshold (PPT) in kg / cm2. It has been shown that 3 measurements are required to maximize measurement properties.
