Hand Neuropathy Exam Training

You will learn the step-by-step process of the neuropathy hand exam and gain the necessary knowledge and skills to perform a comprehensive exam and deliver high-quality care to your patients.

In this training, we will break down the process of conducting a neuropathy hand exam step by step, so that you can accurately assess the condition and determine the best course of treatment for your patients.

The neuropathy hand exam involves using a baseline tissue area to compare everything to and a sensitivity scale of 1 to 10 to determine the patient's level of sensitivity. By checking for sensitivity in the hands, healthcare professionals can gain insight into the severity of the neuropathy and monitor any changes in the patient's condition over time.

Similar to the neuropathy foot exam, which is more commonly known, the neuropathy hand exam is an important diagnostic tool that can help healthcare professionals provide accurate and timely treatment to their patients.
