Sensory Testing for Hands and Fingers
There are no products listed under this category.
The hand and especially the fingertips are rich in sensory receptors as we use our fingers to touch, handle, and feel many things experienced in daily living.
There are a variety of tools designed to assess the integrity of sensory receptors and neurological transmissions of our hand and fingers. Tools used to make these assessments include:
- Monofilaments (fold-up, retracting, disposable)
- Touch monofilaments/tactile sensitivity Test
- Discriminators
- Aesthesiometers
One basis for such testing is to evaluate the integrity of nerve root sensory patterns called dermatomes as well as peripheral nerve cutaneous distribution patterns.
