How to Administer the Semmes Weinstein Monofilament Test

[@aimeejoffe7851]

I'm taking the NBCOT exam soon, I really loved this video! What a cool way to assess validity at the end!!! Makes sense that they would compensate by using ring/pinky finger if they truly had median nerve distribution deficit!

These videos are great for revising for OT practice exams! Thank you!🫶🏼

[@TheUpperHand]

So glad to hear! Happy to help in any way we can.
Speaking of practice exams, we are considering developing and launching a comprehensive NBCOT review/practice subscription in 2024. As an OT student, do you feel like this would be a resource you/other students would utilize? Thanks for any input you can give us!

Are the monofilaments reusable for the same patient or different patients?

[@TheUpperHand]

Good question. They are reusable.

You never tested the sensations over the thumb !!!!!!Or do you think , it is not very important ?
