Evaluation of any suspected disease of the<unk>  system is included in a neurological examination of the peripheral nervous system. Modern techniques for testing<unk>  function are still quite crude compared to testing motor function. Evaluation of<unk>  stimuli are limited by the patient's interpretation of sensation in response to testing. Tactile sensation is tested with a cotton wisp or light touch with a finger. Pain is assessed by pinprick or pinwheel (Wartenberg wheel). A 128 Hz tuning fork is used for testing vibrations.
