ABSTRACT:
An economical, diagnostic, sensory testing instrument having a semi-rigid filament rigidly secured within a hand-gripped support for use in the care and treatment of sensory-affecting conditions. The filament is adapted for perpendicular contact with a testing surface, and maintains an outwardly projecting orientation with respect to the support until such contact reaches a predetermined force that causes the filament to buckle.
