A total of 121 healthy volunteers (96 females, 25 males; mean age: 20,75±2,20 years) participated in this cross-sectional study conducted in the Physiotherapy and Rehabilitation Laboratory of Istanbul Arel University. Tactile sensation was assessed using the Baseline 5-piece monofilament kit in 10 specific regions of both the dominant and non-dominant lower extremities. Measurements included the tip of the hallux, medial and lateral aspects of the leg, anterior and posterior thigh, and metatarsal regions. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. Between-group comparisons were made using the Mann-Whitney U test. Correlations between age, body mass index (BMI), and sensation values were analyzed using Spearman's correlation coefficient.
