Medical sensory tuning fork designed for assessment of vibration sensation and neurological sensory function, featuring durable metal construction, a smooth extended handle and a clearly defined nominal frequency of 128 Hz.
The IndoSurgicals Tuning Fork 128 Hz is a medical diagnostic instrument primarily used to evaluate vibratory sensation during neurological and peripheral sensory examination.
When activated, the tuning fork produces a low-frequency mechanical vibration that can be applied to an appropriate bony prominence. The patient's ability to perceive the vibration assists the healthcare professional in assessing vibration sense as part of a neurological examination.
The 128 Hz frequency is particularly useful for sensory assessment because it produces a readily perceptible mechanical vibration when its base is applied to bony structures.
A commonly used medical tuning fork frequency for assessment of vibration perception and neurological sensory function, particularly during examination of distal extremities and bony prominences.
Designed to generate the low-frequency mechanical vibration commonly used during clinical assessment of vibration sensation.
Suitable for assessment of vibratory sensation as part of neurological and peripheral sensory examination.
Manufactured from durable metal for repeated professional clinical and teaching use.
Long, smoothly finished handle provides convenient grip and controlled placement during examination.
Compact mechanical design makes the tuning fork convenient for examination kits, hospitals, clinics and teaching environments.
Covered by a one-year warranty against applicable manufacturing and material defects.
Vibration sensation is commonly assessed as part of a neurological examination. A vibrating 128 Hz tuning fork is placed over an appropriate bony prominence while the patient indicates whether the vibration can be perceived and, where appropriate, when the sensation stops.
The tuning fork may be applied to appropriate distal bony prominences of the upper or lower extremities to compare vibration perception between anatomical sites or corresponding sides.
Vibration testing contributes to assessment of sensory pathways and may be incorporated into a broader neurological examination together with position sense, touch and other sensory modalities.
Clinical technique may vary according to examination protocol and patient condition. The following describes the general principle of vibration-sensation testing with a 128 Hz tuning fork.
Explain the expected sensation to the patient and, where appropriate, demonstrate the vibration at an anatomical site where normal perception is expected.
Hold the instrument by its handle and activate the tines using an appropriate technique to generate a clear vibration without damaging the instrument.
Place the base of the vibrating tuning fork gently but firmly on the selected bony prominence according to the clinical examination protocol.
Ask whether vibration is perceived and, where clinically appropriate, ask the patient to indicate when the vibration is no longer felt.
Compare findings between corresponding sides or progressively more proximal sites according to the required neurological examination.
A 128 Hz tuning fork produces substantial tactile vibration and is therefore particularly useful for neurological assessment of vibration perception.
For bedside hearing tests such as Rinne and Weber, a higher-frequency tuning fork such as 512 Hz is commonly preferred because it provides an appropriate balance between audible tone and tactile vibration.
Different tuning fork frequencies have different clinical characteristics and applications. IndoSurgicals tuning forks may be available individually or in sets according to the required configuration.
The IndoSurgicals Tuning Fork 128 Hz is manufactured for professional medical examination with a durable metal body and smooth extended handle that allows controlled handling during vibration testing.
Its compact mechanical design requires no battery or external power source, making the instrument convenient for hospitals, outpatient clinics, bedside examination, medical teaching and portable diagnostic kits.
