Abstract

accuracy of point-like drawings in different body regions: the lower distance (5.9 pixels) betweenD1andD2has been found in the anterior part of the arm, the larger distance (16.1 pixels) in the anterior part of the thigh. Overlapping of reported areas was not significantly different in different body regions. Conclusion(s): The results of the present study showed that the two identical pressure stimuli were reported over a digital body chart in non-identical locations. Moreover, this phenomena has resulted different among different body parts. Implications: It will be interesting to analyze if the same spatial acuity could be observed in patients with pain, in order to evaluate if pain is responsible of an alteration of this variable. Consequently, it will be also possible to assess more precisely pain drawings reliability.
