"Acraturesis" is a medical term that refers to a condition where a patient has lost the ability to feel or recognize tactile stimuli, such as touch or pressure. The word is pronounced /ækrətjuːrɛsɪs/ (ack-ruh-too-reh-sis) with the stress on the second syllable. The prefix "acra-" means extremities, and the suffix "-tesis" denotes a condition or state. Therefore, "acraturesis" can be understood as the state of losing or lacking sensation in the extremities. It is typically associated with neurological disorders, such as Parkinson's disease or peripheral neuropathy.
