Abstract:
We investigated the usefulness of a new examiner-independent method based on the duration of vibration sensation following the placement of the Rydel-Seiffer tuning fork over the dorsum of the interphalangeal hallux joint. This method demonstrated the same diagnostic efficacy as the Rydel-Seiffer method coupled with greater ease of use.
