Vibration can be considered as a strong, long-lasting stimulus. According to some authors, the most sensitive to vibration are the receptors of the skin and distal parts of the upper extremities, then the plantar surface of the toes and the foot arch. Inhibition of vibration sensitivity can be detected even in the latent period of the disease, proceeding without pronounced clinical signs.
