EQUIPMENT NEEDED TO TEST VIBRATION AND POSITION SENSE 128-Hz tuning fork. This information is used only for statistical and administrative purposes and to assist in making enhancements to the visitors’ experience with the Site. This study suggests that assessment of vibration sensation with the tuning fork may be unreliable. In other words, vibration and proprioceptive sensation felt on the left side ascends the left posterior spinal cord and crosses in the medulla to end up in the right thalamus and right sensory cortex. The values from the Rydel-SeiVer tuning fork and the Vibrameter were. MSK Medicine will make no attempt to identify individual visitors to the Site or associate the technical information referred to above with any individual. There was a significant age related decline of vibration sense at all locations. You may disable the ability of your computer to receive “cookies”. Vibration sense is tested with a vibrating tuning fork placed over bony prominences of the feet (ankles) and hands (knuckles). If enabled by your web browser, the Site will place “cookies” (simple text files) on your computer so that the Site can remember you on subsequent visits.

The vibration sense testing using a tuning fork was Performed. Each item is scored from 0 to 2 (0 is normal and 2 is severely disturbed). and five concerning sensation, for a total of eight items. TENS units intensity ranges from 1 mA to 100 mA. A 128-Hz tuning fork is used to examine vibration perception at the dorsum of the interphalangeal joint of the right hallux. Such information may include the originating IP address, the date and time of your visit, the web pages visited on our Site and documents downloaded from it. TENS probes were placed adjacent to the hallux. The server on which the Site is located collects and saves only the default information normally provided by web server software.
