The \u003cb\u003ecalibrated tuning fork\u003c\/b\u003e vibrates at a frequency of 64 Hz (with dampers) or 128 Hz (without dampers).

This allows a diagnosis to be made about the patient's \u003cb\u003edepth sensitivity\u003c\/b\u003e, which is reduced in polyneuropathies. Younger people should be able to perceive minimal vibrations (scale value 8 out of 8). People with increasing age often show a slightly reduced vibration sensation (scale value 6 of 8).
