Hiya, I was wondering if anyone could help me. I am doing a quantative project proposal on the reliability of the monofilament. I have done lots of research but am having difficulties finding sources. I am trying to compare operator intra-reliability ect in proving how successful the monofilament is in determing neuropathy in diabetic patients. The reasons for my research are because when i have been on placement as a student, i have seen lots of different techniques for assessing diabetics feet for neuropathy. Within accordance with my university training i have been taught to assess 10 areas of the feet including both the dorsum and plantar sufaces.

Also sometimes when assessing patients feet I have noticed that patients sometimes say they can feel senation even though I am not touching their feet. I need to find some resources up back up my research, so would appreciate any advice. I must stress that I do not dispute the reliability of the monofilament, but the way it is used by different people.
Look forward to any suggestions
