ABSTRACT
Semmes-Weinstein monofilament test-evaluates slowly adapting sensory fibers.
Vibration-evaluates fast adapting sensory fibers.
. Density testing-through testing of the ability to discriminate two closely positioned stimuli, this test examines the topographic density or concentration of sensory fibers. This type of testing ismost reliable for evaluating nerve lacerations and subsequent nerve regeneration; less reliable for compression neuropathies.
