DEVICE AND METHOD FOR ASSESSMENT OF DIABETIC PERIPHERAL NEUROPATHY Russian patent published in 2016 - IPC A61B10/00 

FIELD: medical equipment.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions refers to medical equipment, namely to device and method for measuring high reproducibility of threshold time simple application to bottom of foot of movable stimulus and evaluating peripheral neuropathy resulted from diabetes. There are support for foot, probe, designed to apply to bottom of foot of movable stimulus, probe drive arranged on basis of intended for movement of probe at bottom of the foot separately in directions crossed at right angle. Besides, there are input switch used subject, hardware moving stimulus, drive controller intended to control drive mode of the drive spindle, and the main controller intended for evaluation of measured threshold sensation.

EFFECT: drive controller controls the drive spindle drive mode, using reference data and correction coefficients at age for applying a mode of the primary stimulus, then for measuring sensitivity threshold are mode applying secondary stimulus and mode of applying tertiary stimulus.
