Summary

The Semmes-Weinstein Monofilament Test is one of the most widely used and objective clinical tests for assessing the sense of touch. Some guides include standard instructions for the application of the Semmes-Weinstein Monofilament Test. With monofilaments applied correctly by the instructions, patients' threshold values can be determined accurately. However, there are disagreements about the accuracy of the pressure applied by the therapist who applies the monofilament to the patient. The investigators aimed to compare the application of the Semmes-Weinstein Monofilament Test to undergraduate students of the occupational therapy department by teaching it using classical methods and visual feedback.
