Summary Introduction
To describe:
The possibility of the spinal cord damage of the right side because a patient is suffering from the loss of two-point discrimination and proprioception on the right side of the body.
Introduction:
Two-point discrimination (2PD) is the ability to determine that two similar skin-touching objects are two separate points, not one. During a neurological examination, it is often measured with two sharp points and is thought to show the finely innervated region of the skin.
