Abstract
The frequency of testing pressure threshold, the time consumed for testing, and the slippage rate using the original Semmes Weinstein monofilaments and the enhanced monofilaments (west) in the hand clinic are studied. A modified technique of using the west device is also described. It is concluded that west has several advantages and will likely encourage hand surgeons to perform pressure threshold testing more frequently in the clinic.
