METHOD OF DIAGNOSING DEGREE OF EXPRESSION OF POLYNEUROPATHY IN EXTREMITIES INDUCED BY GENERAL AND LOCAL VIBRATION Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC A61B5/488 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to field of medicine, namely to neuropathy and occupational pathology. Electroneuromyography is carried out and index of residual latency of tibial nerve, index of sensor rate of impulse conduction in tibial nerve, index of motor rate of impulse transmission on distal part of tibial nerve, index of residual latency of median nerve, index of motor rate of impulse transmission in ulnar canal of ulnar nerve are determined. Discriminant function F is calculated and compared with constant. If F value islarger than constant, mildly expressed polyneuropathy in expremities is diagnosed, if F is smaller or equal to constant polyneuropathy in extremities of moderate degree of expression is diagnosed.

EFFECT: method makes it possible to increase reliability of diagnostics.
