This lower-pitched tuning fork is frequently used to check vibration sense as part of the examination of the peripheral nervous system.

Where bone fracture is suspected, some Orthopedic surgeons use this type of tuning fork to assess injuries.  

The surgeon will hold the end of the vibrating fork on the skin above the suspected fracture and move it closer and closer to the suspected fracture site.  

If there is a fracture, the periosteum of the bone vibrates, and pain receptors cause a sharp local pain.  

This would indicate a likely fracture, which is then confirmed by an X-ray imaging test.  

Tuning forks also play a role in several alternative therapy practices, such as sonopuncture and polarity therapy.

The ADC Tuning Fork is available in six different options that offer an accurate frequency response ranging from 128 to 4096 Hz. These tuning forks are non-magnetic, and are constructed of corrosion resistant aluminum alloy.
