How to administer Semmes-Weinstein Monofilament Test | Technique Peek Series

Video Description

This Technique Peek Series video features Joanna Spivack, OTR/L, CHT, demonstrating how to properly administer the Semmes-Weinstein Monofilament Test.
The Semmes-Weinstein monofilament test is a quick and easy way for medical professionals to assess someone's sense of touch, especially light touch. It uses thin nylon filaments of varying thicknesses to pinpoint areas of numbness or reduced sensation, which can help diagnose conditions like diabetes, carpal tunnel syndrome, and nerve damage.
