Rydel Seiffer Tunning Fork C 64 / c 128

Clinical Application

This handheld diagnostic tuning fork is used to assess vibration sense as part of neurologic and peripheral nerve examinations. It aids clinicians in screening for diabetic and other peripheral neuropathies, monitoring changes in vibration perception over time, and documenting perioperative or postoperative nerve function. The graduated visual scale enables a semiquantitative recording of vibration amplitude that supports consistent serial exams and objective documentation for clinics, surgery centers, and neurology or podiatry practices.

Design & Configuration

The two-pronged geometry produces a sustained, reproducible vibratory stimulus when struck. The Rydel-Seiffer style incorporates a visual amplitude indicator between the prongs, allowing clinicians to estimate vibration magnitude without specialized instrumentation. Availability in C64 and C128 frequencies provides options for institutional protocols or clinician preference: the numeric designators indicate the fundamental resonant frequency of each model, and selection should align with the diagnostic thresholds used by the practice.
