BS ISO 13091-1:2001+A2:2021

This standard BS ISO 13091-1:2001+A2:2021 Mechanical vibration. Vibrotactile perception thresholds for the assessment of nerve dysfunction is classified in these ICS categories:

• 13.160 Vibration and shock with respect to human beings

This part of ISO 13091 specifies

• methods for measuring vibrotactile perception thresholds (VPTs) at the fingertips,

• procedures for conducting the measurements, and

• the reporting of results.

Measurement methods are defined in this part of ISO 13091 for obtaining perception thresholds at the fingertips mediated, separately, by SAI, FAI and FAII mechanoreceptor populations. The methods are designed to be applicable to healthy and diseased persons, and to be suitable for clinical assessment and for screening purposes.

The measurement of temporary shifts in vibrotactile perception threshold, or of thresholds at body sites other than the fingertip, is outside the scope of this part of ISO 13091.
