Surface Pressure Sensitivity of The Auricle and Periauricular Areas for Design Purposes of Product Interaction
DescriptionThere has been a lack of detailed studies focusing on measuring pressure thresholds in the auricle and periauricular areas. This study aimed to investigate surface pressure sensitivity (SPS) in 320 healthy Chinese adults (aged 20-59), measuring Pressure Pain Threshold (PPT) and Pressure Discomfort Threshold (PDT). The results and findings of this study pertain to the Chinese population and give an understanding of age-related trends, bilateral differences, and gender influences on SPS for the development of ear-related wearables.
