Abstract(in English) The Semmes-Weinstein monofilaments (SWMs) are used by medical staff in sensory testing. However, this test influence by the SWMs and the operator hand motion. The purpose of this study is to discuss about the variability of touch test using the SWMs. In this study, we carried out two experiments, (1) the effect of a number of tests on the buckling force of the SWMs, (2) the effect of the operator variability using the SWMs. From these results showed that the buckling force was decreased through a number of tests, and the hand motion has varied through each participant.
