1. Characterized by sensibility to vibrations: Doug quite accurately identified the pallesthetic resonances he felt that were coming from a quivering tuning fork.
2. Referring to the peculiar vibrating sensation felt when a oscillating tuning fork is placed against a subcutaneous bony prominence of the body: Nina reported the pallesthetic sense of tremors to Dr. Jackson. He said that the ability to sense these tremors could be interpreted as an indication of progress in her physiotherapy program.

A reference to the sensitivity of vibrations: Jeanette's palmesthetic response to the vibrations made her an ideal candidate for the neural research the hospital was planning.
