Title:
皮膚感覚閾値の測定装置
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP6661134
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
To provide a cutaneous sensory threshold measurement device that is capable of quantitatively measuring the cutaneous sensory threshold of a human fingertip with high reproducibility, and that is useful in identifying the presence of peripheral neuropathy derived from diabetes in particular and the progress of neuropathy.A body case 2 accommodates therein a probe 15, a probe drive unit 16, a drive control unit 20 that controls the probe drive unit 16, and a movement amount detection unit 17 that detects a movement amount of the probe 15. The probe drive unit 16 includes a vibration giving function that gives ultrasonic vibration to the probe 15 and a movement function that moves the probe 15. With the probe 15 in contact with a skin of a fingertip 10, the probe drive unit 16 is driven by a control signal from the drive control unit 20 to give the fingertip 10 a moving stimulus accompanied by an ultrasonic vibration stimulus, and the movement amount detection unit 17 detects the movement amount of the probe 15 at the time when a subject shows a reaction, so that a cutaneous sensory threshold of the fingertip 10 of the subject is measured.
