Used for the determination of vibration sensitivity threshold at any desired site on the body surface. Sensitivity decreases naturally with age but a number of medical conditions can be related to abnormal deterioration.
The Neurothesiometer has applications in:
- Monitoring the progress of peripheral neuropathy which is associated with diabetes
- Observation of the reduction of vibration sensitivity in connection with other diseases
- Routine recording of threshold sensitivity during chiropody leading to early diagnosis of disease or to susceptibility to conditions such as ulcers
- The study of the effects of treatment on neuropathy and associated or causative conditions
- Pharmacological and medical research projects involving relatively low costs
Features:
- Simple to operate
- Rechargeable battery
- Digital display of volts applied to the vibrator or free air movement of the vibrating head in microns
- Range expansion: the voltage applied to the vibrator is adjusted by a rotary knob, the range may be switched from normal = 0 – 50 volts/0 – 250 microns, to expanded = 0 – 25 volts/0 – 62.5 microns
- Ten memories which may be reviewed by switching from store to review, advance memory scrolls through all ten in turn
- State of charge indication
- Manufactured under BS 5750 Part 2 QAS34/51 (equivalent to ISO 9002 and EN29002), conforms to BS 5724 Pt1 and medical standard IEC 601-1
