A neuro-vascular assessment involves a series of questions, locating dorsalis pedis and posterior tibial pulses and a monofilament test. A doppler is a noninvasive procedure used to hear the pulses in the feet identifying blood flow to the lower limbs. A monofilament test requires the patient to close their eyes and report when the feel the monofilament gently touch the feet, this identifies any loss of sensation.
