A vibration that can be observed visibly or is perceivable on palpation; in dentistry, the movement of a tooth that is felt when the teeth come into contact.<\/p>\n
Vibrations or trembling in part of someone\u2019s body, felt by the doctor\u2019s hand or heard through a stethoscope.<\/p>\n
Flutter that can be felt by the hand of the examiner or by listening, as the chest vibrations that occur with speech or on coughing.<\/p>\n
Palpable vibration; crackles or thrill from body cavities or joints; subtypes include tactile, vocal, and tussive.<\/p>\n
Vibrations or tremors in a part of the body, detected by feeling with the fingers or hand (palpation) or by listening (auscultation). The term is most commonly applied to vibrations perceived through the chest when a patient breathes, speaks {vocal fremitus), or coughs. The nature of the fremitus gives an indication as to whether the chest is affected by disease. For example, loss of vocal fremitus suggests the presence of fluid in the pleural cavity; its increase suggests consolidation of the underlying lung.<\/p>\n
Tremors or vibrations in an area of the body, detected by palpating (feeling) with the fingers or the hand or by auscultation (listening). The procedure is most commonly used when examining the chest and assessing what happens when the patient breathes, coughs or speaks. This helps the doctor to diagnose whether disorders such as fluid in the pleural cavity or solidification of a section of the lung have occurred.<\/p>\n
Vibratory tremors, especially those felt through the chest wall by palpation. Varieties include vocal or tactile, friction, hydatid, rhonchal or bronchial, cavernous on succussion, pleural, pericardial, tussive, and thrills.<\/p>\n
A tactile sensation that can be detected by the hands.<\/p>\n
