Hold the filament perpendicular to the skin and use a smooth motion when testing. Use a 3 step sequence that includes (1) touch the skin, (2) bend the filament, and (3) lift from the skin.
Do not use rapid movement. The approach, skin contact, and departure of the monofilament should be approximately 1½ seconds duration. (See Figures 1-3).
