The weighted chrome-plated handle is precisely balanced for increased control of force in the percussion. The encircling band of handle with pin firmly secures the triangular head midway between the apex and base. The handle is also made with a pointed tip and brush for eliciting cutaneous and plantar reflexes. Thermo-plastic-rubber triangular head has beveled apex and base employed to elicit myotatic reflex The soft base and rounded apex is perfectly suited in provoking myotatic responses in striking precise location of tendons. Also suited to obtain chest sounds and to percuss the abdomen. A tuning fork is a metal instrument with a handle and two prongs or tines. Tuning forks, will vibrate at a set frequency to produce a musical tone when struck. The vibrations produced can be used to assess a person's ability to hear various sound frequencies. A vibrating tuning fork held next to the ear or placed against the skull will stimulate the inner ear to vibrate, and can help determine if there is hearing loss.
