Abstract
Evaluation of clinical usefulness of current perception threshold test and vibration sense perception threshold test in diagnosing the diabetic poly-neuropathy patients is one of the diagnosis methods for diabetic poly-neuropathy. Up to the present, some diagnostic methods were used for diabetic poly neuropathy patients. For example, there are neuropathy impairment score test of lower limbs, nerve conduction test, cooling detection threshold test, heat-pain threshold test and so on. However, most of the above tests require very expensive cost and take a lot of time in test. In this paper, a new apparatus estimating vibration sense ability is introduced. For this purpose, the VCM(voice coil motor) stimulating patient's peripheral nerve and current amplifier were manufactured. Also, softwares sensing and driving the vibration detection threshold test in order to measure the quantitative vibration sensory levels in diabetic poly-neuropathy patients were developed.
