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
