The Weight Discrimination Kit – 5 Graded Weights is a standardized sensory assessment and rehabilitation tool designed for evaluating and training weight discrimination (barognosis), a cortical sensory function that enables an individual to perceive differences in the weight of objects of identical size and shape. This kit is intended for use by occupational therapists, physiotherapists, neurologists, rehabilitation physicians, and other healthcare professionals in clinical and rehabilitation settings.

The kit consists of 10 precision-finished stainless-steel cylinders arranged as 5 matched pairs, with each pair having the same dimensions but different internal weights. The identical appearance eliminates visual cues, allowing assessment to focus solely on tactile and proprioceptive sensory perception.

The Weight Discrimination Kit is widely used for adult neurological sensory assessment, upper limb rehabilitation, sensory re-education, and hand function training following stroke, traumatic brain injury, peripheral nerve injuries, spinal cord injury, Parkinson's disease, and other neurological disorders.

Each set is supplied in a durable wooden storage case with protective foam inserts, ensuring secure storage and easy transport.
