Abstract
In one embodiment, a system for neurologic vibratory sense evaluation includes a vibration article configured to attach to a body part of a patient under evaluation, the vibration article comprising a vibration element configured to vibrate against the body part, a control module configured to control an amplitude of vibrations generated by the vibration element, and a patient input device configured to enable a patient to start and stop an evaluation session, wherein starting the session in a first mode of operation causes the vibration element to initially vibrate at a relatively high amplitude that gradually decreases and wherein starting the session in a second mode of operation causes the vibration element to initially vibrate at a relatively low amplitude that gradually increases.
