How to check vibratory sensation in lower limbs?
Is it by using the tuning fork over the the medial malleolus?

Focused PE is the name of the game:

Only if you think there is something wrong with the PT... like DM, or constant falling. After checking position, just put the hammer over the dorsal part of the foot and ask: what to do feel?

That's it... + or - vibration on your note
