AB - <p>In a previous study Birke and Sims (1986) identified the 5.07 (10 y) Semmes-Weinstein monofilament, as the most useful tool, in measuring protective sensation in the sole of the foot of leprosy patients. This study has demonstrated that the standard 6 Nylon being used in Karigiri, is as good as the monofilament, in assessing protective sensation in leprosy patients. However there is a need for standardising procedures for measuring sensory loss in leprosy patients.</p>
