Description

Sensory testing This image demonstrates sensory testing on the palmar surface of the hand. The examiner supports the back of the patient's hand to prevent any movement of the joints. Then, holding a ball-point pen vertically, he produces an indentation of approximately 1 mm. The patient indicates when and where the pen is felt, and the results are recorded on a hand map.
