The question presented by this work to inquire under what conditions was the frequent use of that technique, while pointing out the suggestive considerations for its use. The database search, after meeting the inclusion criteria were selected thirty-eight articles. After review and analysis of the data, we found conditions in which there is greater emphasis on the use of monofilament and to identify aspects suggestive for the use of the subject matter. For us, occupational therapists, it is necessary to know the various existing uses on the use of monofilament so we can understand and deepen technical and application sites in various diseases, thus expanding our operations in the detection and treatment of sensory disorders.
