Assessing the vibration perception threshold in a community sample of adult Ghanaians

BACKGROUND: The vibration perception threshold (VPT) helps evaluate human somatosensory function and diagnose peripheral neuropathy. To optimize its use as a primary neurologic tool, it is imperative to establish its typical values in healthy subjects and assess the factors affecting its variability...
