VSA-3000: A Quantitative Vibration Sensation Testing Device for Patients With Central Nervous System Injury.

ABSTRACT: Objective: To investigate the effect of using Vibration Sensory Analyzer-3000 (VSA-3000) in patients with impaired vibration sensation caused by central nervous system injury. Design: Prospective observational study. Setting: A university hospital for the research and clinical practice of rehabilitation. Subjects: Sixty patients (30 stroke and 30 spinal cord injury) were recruited, aged between 20 and 71 years old, under stable medication. Interventions: Not applicable. Main Measure: VSA-3000 threshold test, tuning fork test and somatosensory evoked potential (SSEP) measurement. Results: Test-retest reliability was determined based on data collected from 60 subjects, and the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) for vibration perception t
