Introduction: An Objective evaluation is a valuable resource in research. However, the information on the esthesiometer is by color.
Objective: To present the logarithmic conversion of the nominal values of the esthesiometer as a representative recording option in the assessment of tactile injury.
Method: Pilot study approved by the Ethics and Research Committee, technical opinion No. 1,337.714, carried out from August 2018 to July 2019. Nominal values (gF) of the colors of the monofilament were converted into a logarithm, the procedure was used to record and monitor cerebrovascular patients undergoing rehabilitation (n=13), compared to control (n=10), for quality ratings, accuracy and power of inferences of the data in the representation of the tactile state. Statistical analysis performed by the GraphPad Prism 6.0 Program.
Results: The numerical options operated managed to represent the tactile perception and the conversion to logarithm demonstrates objectivity, sensitivity, coherence and consistency to generate more inferences.
Conclusion: Logarithmic notation for recording sensitivity is a versatile option for analyzing and interpreting data in rehabilitation research.
