Description

The Tuning Fork Student Grade Weighted 128 cps is a reliable instrument designed for teaching, bedside testing, and basic clinical assessment. Its weighted construction and precise 128 cycles-per-second vibration deliver a stable, repeatable sensory experience, enabling accurate evaluation of vibratory sense and auditory perception in educational and clinical settings.

In the classroom and clinical labs, this tuning fork supports a range of activities that mirror real-world practice. The weighted design enhances palpation on common testing sites, helping learners experience how vibration feels when applied to bone and soft tissue. Its steady frequency enables consistent demonstrations across groups, making it a dependable baseline instrument for skill development, demonstrations, practice sessions, and formative assessments.

Key specifications

  • Frequency: 128 Hz (cycles per second) with stable vibration suitable for sensory testing.
  • Design: Weighted construction improves vibration perception and facilitates accurate placement on testing sites.
  • Educational utility: Ideal for nursing, medical, and allied health curricula; supports hands-on practice in audiology and neurology assessments.
  • Clinical relevance: Enables teaching of both auditory and tactile-vibratory sensation using standardized methods.
  • Durability: Built to withstand frequent classroom use while maintaining frequency stability across sessions.
  • Compatibility: Aligns with common teaching scenarios and assessment workflows used in health education programs.

Practical usage centers on clear, reproducible techniques. To initiate vibration, tap the fork firmly and allow the vibrating end to contact the testing site with stable, continuous contact. The examiner guides the patient to acknowledge when the sensation is perceived, fostering clear communication and a reliable response. Documentation follows standardized scoring methods, enabling instructors to discuss findings with peers and to correlate sensory responses with patient history. Because this is a student-grade instrument, it supports repeated use in labs and practice sessions, while careful handling helps preserve calibration and extend its longevity.

Educational outcomes emphasize technique, patient interaction, and interpretation of sensory responses. The 128 Hz frequency provides a dependable reference point for demonstrations of auditory and tactile sensation and for more advanced tasks such as evaluating vibratory perception at distal joints or comparing responses between limbs. Instructors can rely on consistent performance to illustrate concepts, assess proficiency, and guide discussions about sensory pathways and clinical implications. The instrument also serves as a practical tool for validating basic examination skills that underlie broader clinical assessments, including neurology and rehabilitation contexts.

Care and best practices are straightforward. For best results, ensure the patient is comfortable and understands what they are being asked to feel. After testing, document responses clearly and compare findings with the contralateral side to assess symmetry. While robust enough for routine use, the device should be handled with care to preserve calibration and extend service life. Routine cleaning and proper storage help maintain performance between sessions, supporting consistent, trustworthy demonstrations and assessments across multiple learners and cohorts.
