ABSTRACT:
Apparatus for measuring the sensory condition of the skin. The apparatus includes means for repeatably projecting and retracting a pair of probes and for repeatably varying the separation between the probes so that the Von Frey and Weber two point discrimination tests may be performed objectively. The apparatus also includes means for measuring skin temperature and electrical resistance with a unitary wand and for measuring the pinch and grip forces which may be applied by the fingers and hand.
