ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A sensing device (10) has prongs (15 and 16) used for determining the sensory responses of the human skin to evaluate the fiber-receptor nervous system of the human body, primarily in connection with the measurement of the ability to discriminate separate pints of touch of the hand. The sensing device includes flexure straps (24B, 25B) which support the prongs (15, 16) and strain gage sensors (54, 55) to determine the displacement, or force, acting on individually mounted prongs or pins (15, 16) which are positioned to engage and apply a load to a human body, The sensors (54, 55) provide not only the load individually of each of the prongs (15, 16), but also the average load applied to the surface of the human body by the two prongs (15, 16).
