What is Monofilament Test for Neuropathy Diagnosis about?

This document discusses using a 10g monofilament test to assess loss of protective sensation as the current consensus definition of neuropathy. The test is portable, easy to perform, and cheap. However, its accuracy in diagnosing neuropathy is variable, so it may be combined with other tests like a biothesiometer or tuning fork to better screen for neuropathy. It also discusses assessing peripheral arterial disease by taking a history, palpating pulses in the feet, and measuring the ankle brachial index usi
