Device for examining nerve function

Abstract

The present invention relates to a device for examining nerve function. In order to examine the function of a nerve of the human body, the device for examining nerve function of the present invention includes: at least one stimulator for stimulating the human body; and a stimulator-fixing member having a form corresponding to the hands or feet of the human body, wherein the stimulator is located at one side of the simulator-fixing member so as to fix the stimulator to the hands or feet of the human body. The device for examining nerve function of the present invention further includes at least one blood-circulation detection sensor fixed at the stimulator-fixing member.; According to the present invention, since the degree of hypoesthesia is examined through the stimulation of the stimulator, test accuracy and reliability may be greatly improved and it is possible to systematically and actively determine a diagnosis and course of treatment for a patient having diabetes or spinal nerve damage, e.g. hypoesthesia.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a neurological function testing device, and more particularly, to a neurological function testing device capable of detecting the progress of a disease, preventing accidents, and performing treatment by checking the sensation of hands or feet of a subject such as a diabetic patient or a spinal nerve injury patient. Background technique [0002] Generally speaking, diabetes refers to a disease in which the blood sugar level rises due to the inability to produce enough insulin required by the body or the insulin produced cannot work normally in the cells, so that the cells cannot absorb the sugar ingested into the body. [0003] The above-mentioned diabetes can lead to renal failure due to complications of large or small blood vessels caused by arteriosclerosis in the blood vessels, requiring long-term hemodialysis, or causing coronary artery or cerebrovascular disorders or retinal damage, and even leading to insufficiency...

Problems solved by technology

[0006] As a result, the ulcer spreads gradually from the toes, and when it reaches above the knee, it can lead to a serious condition that requires amputation above the knee. If this happens, the blood circulation of the diabetic patient will worsen, which will not only lead to more serious complications , and possibly death

[0007] Therefore, it is very important to confirm the above-mentioned decreased consciousness in diabetic patients in advance, to carry out appropriate treatment and to prevent wounds in advance. In order to check the decreased consciousness of diabetic patients, doctors have traditionally pricked them with a needle-like wire (monofilament) or used After the "U"-shaped tuning fork vibrates and touches the toes or the soles of the feet, the reliability of the test results will be reduced due to different examiners, and the standardization and quantitative empirical methods cannot be used to evaluate the patient's perception state. Questions to systematically confirm the degree of development of the patient's sensory decline or the specific location of the sensory decline
