Abarognosis (origin Greek "a" not, "baros" weight, "gnosis" knowledge) is type of cortical sensory defect[2] consisting of a loss of barognosis, the ability to detect the weight of an object held in the hand or to tell the difference in weight between two objects,[3] or more succinctly "Loss of the ability to sense weight".[4] This deficit may be caused by damage to the parietal lobe.[5]

This condition is also known as 'baragnosis' and 'baroagnosis'.[6]
