Sensory perception is the sum of the ability to perceive and the ability to act upon sensory information based on exposure to pressure. Individuals with a spinal cord injury, nerve damage, or a stroke may be insensate in specific body areas and be unable to detect discomfort associated with hypoxemia of local tissues exposed to pressure.
