Sensimono ® Semis Weinstein Monofilament Testing Kit
Semis Weinstein monofilament is an internationally recognized and highly effective method for detecting tactile sensation disorders. The complete testing kit offers 20 strength levels of monofilaments to choose from, which can be used to evaluate the sensory function of patients' hands and feet in a graded manner (normal, mild tactile impairment, protective sensory impairment, protective sensory loss, complete sensory loss). This test provides a non-invasive, objective, and reproducible method for evaluating skin sensation levels.
Testing the palm surface of the index finger and thumb reflects the function of the median nerve, testing the protuberance of the little finger and small fish can evaluate the function of the ulnar nerve, and testing the dorsal hand can evaluate the function of the radial nerve (as shown in the figure below)
The position for foot testing is shown in the following figure.
