A screening, with Jamar Monofilaments
Your patient sits with their feet up and eyes closed. You hold the filament by its paper handle and press it gently against each test site on the card, just until the filament bends, and note where they can and can't feel it. The marked card keeps a simple record you can file with their notes.
