The neurologists I shadowed use the 128 hz forks like this one...
Nothing too special. Amazon.com has a 128 hz fork for under $10.

Thanks. I went with the 256.
256 Hz is not adequate to test vibratory sensation. Get the 128 Hz and use the 256 for hearing.
Is the 512 Hz one of any use?
It's useful for hearing test. The sharp ends can be used to elicit a plantar response.
