A 2014 study mapped human pain sensitivity across the body, revealing fingertips, palms, and foreheads as most sensitive due to dense pain receptors and neural processing—critical for protection, precision, and survival.Learning Outcomes:
- Understand human pain distribution to enhance injury prevention and treatment in training and operational environments.
- Recognise how pain sensitivity affects reaction times, grip control, and motor precision during high-stress tasks.
- Apply knowledge of sensory acuity to improve ergonomics, protective gear design, and combat readiness.
