The 2-point discrimination wheel is a medical device used to measure the ability to distinguish between two points touching the skin. It is a simple and effective way to assess the sensory function of the fingers, toes, or other areas of the body.
The wheel consists of two sturdy, rotating disks that are joined together. The disks have rounded tips that are spaced at standard testing intervals. The examiner applies the tips of the disks to the skin and asks the patient to report whether they feel one point or two.
The 2-point discrimination wheel is a valuable tool for a variety of medical applications. It can be used to assess the function of the nervous system after nerve repair, graft, or innervated tissue transfer.
