These are in regards to the right upper extremities. A patient had injury to his right brachial plexus and i'm trying to determine if each of these is better or worse in the right upper extremity distal to the injury.

Tactile resolution is the preciseness of a person's or animal's sense of touch. Can they sense when a very small area has been touched, or just when a large area has been touched? Tactile localization is ability of a person to determine, through memory, what part of their body has just been touched.
I hope this is a hypothetical patient that you're working on!

Can't find anything about tactile resolution yet. Here is something about tactile localization -- hope it helps!
"This is a test for the corpus callosum. If you touch someone lightly on the inside of his fingers with his hand behind his back where he can't see what you did, and then you ask him to show you on the other hand where he was touched, that information has to go through our old friend, the CC."
