Whole Body Sensation Scale (WBSS)

The Whole Body Sensation Scale (WBSS) is a tool used to measure how people perceive sensations, such as pain, heat, or pressure, across their entire body. It helps identify areas of discomfort or abnormal sensations, providing a comprehensive picture of sensory experiences. Clinicians use WBSS to assess nerve function, monitor progress in treatment, or evaluate conditions affecting sensation. It typically involves a person rating their sensations in different body regions, enabling a detailed, standardized understanding of sensory health.
