Medical - Medical (general) / Physical examination
Norwegian term or phrase: overflad sens
Hei!

The neurology patient is undergoing a general physical exam. The above appears in the following sentence:

"Normal overflad. sens berøring i overex og underex."

I take this to be a test of superficial sensation, but can't find this term. I'd be grateful if anyone could confirm, or otherwise?

Takk!
Alison.

Explanation:
I reckon "overflad" here is a Danish abbreviation of "overfladisk"

This is from this reference (https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fnins.2022.1065... This study aimed to explore the nature of light touch sensation and two-point discrimination (2-PD) of different hand sites in convalescent stroke patients based on somatosensory evoked potentials (SEP).
