Fig 1 The setup of MTT. (A) Schematic representation of the MTT test. (B) Three cylinders of identical shape with different weight were designed for barognosis test. (C) Plastic cubes with coatings of 3 different degrees of roughness were designed for roughness differentiation test. (D) Three objects with different shapes (cubes, ellipsoids, spheroids) made of plastic were designed for stereognosis test.
