Hi doctors, can you tell me what is semmes weinstein and abnormal nerve conduction?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Well: Semmes Weinstein is the name of type of monofilament that is used to assess integrity of tactile stimulation to see if you might have a discrepancy or possible neuropathy. Nerve Conduction Study is a test that evaluates the speed of signals through nerves. If there is a slowing of nerves it can suggest abnormalities.
