The Semmes-Weinstein Aesthesiometer, developed by Josephine Semmes and Sidney Weinsten, and its variant the Weinstein Enhanced Sensory Test (WEST, e.g., WEST-hand), present nylon monofilaments of approximately the same length (38 mm) and of varying diameters. [4] [5] The diameter and length are used to control the force applied. Whereas Sidney ...
Diminished threshold sensibility (the ability to distinguish different amounts of pressure) can be measured using Semmes-Weinstein monofilament testing. [37] Diminished discriminant sensibility can be measured by testing two-point discrimination: the number of millimeters two points of contact need to be separated before you can distinguish them.
A neurological examination is the assessment of sensory neuron and motor responses, especially reflexes, to determine whether the nervous system is impaired. This typically includes a physical examination and a review of the patient's medical history, [1] but not deeper investigation such as neuroimaging.
The Las Vegas Raiders took some time before making some major decisions. On Tuesday, a day after Antonio Pierce met with the media and said he anticipated being back as Raiders coach, he was fired ...

For best music video, a "Fortnight" win would make Swift the first artist to win three times. The same goes for one of her fellow collaborators and nominees, Kendrick Lamar, who was nominated for ...
The most useful physical examination finding for large fiber neuropathy is an abnormally decreased vibration perception to a 128-Hz tuning fork (likelihood ratio (LR) range, 16–35) or pressure sensation with a 5.07 Semmes-Weinstein monofilament (LR range, 11–16).
