Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of medical detection equipment especially, it is a kind of diabetic plantar tactile sensation detection device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Diabetes is a global chronic disease, and its incidence rate shows a rising trend year by year. Long-term hyperglycemia can cause various diabetic complications, among which diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) is one of the more common and serious complications, and plantar tactile sensation reduction is one of the important early manifestations of diabetic peripheral neuropathy.

[0003] In clinical practice, the detection of plantar tactile sensation for diabetic patients is crucial, because early detection and monitoring of changes in plantar tactile sensation can provide key evidence for preventing serious complications such as diabetic foot. Currently, the traditional plantar tactile sensation detection method mainly relies on doctors using simple tools such as cotton swabs, filaments, etc. to touch and press specific parts of the patient's foot, and then roughly judge the tactile sensation according to the patient's subjective feedback. However, this method has many obvious defects.

[0004] On the one hand, the detection results have strong subjectivity, and there are large differences in the perception and description of the same stimulus by different patients, which makes it difficult for doctors to obtain accurate, objective and quantifiable detection data, thereby affecting the accurate assessment and diagnosis of the disease. For example, some patients may have a high tolerance to pain or tactile sensation, and even if the plantar tactile sensation has decreased to a certain extent, they may not be able to accurately feedback their true feelings to the doctor, resulting in underestimation of the disease.

[0005] On the other hand, the detection efficiency of the traditional detection method is low, the operation process is cumbersome and time-consuming, and for diabetic patient groups that need large-scale screening or regular monitoring, it is difficult to meet the actual clinical needs. Moreover, this detection method lacks systematization and standardization, and the detection methods and intensities of different doctors are difficult to keep consistent, further reducing the reliability and comparability of the detection results.

[0006] In summary, in view of the limitations of existing plantar tactile sensation detection methods and devices for diabetic patients, there is an urgent need to develop a new type of plantar tactile sensation detection device for diabetic patients to improve the accuracy, objectivity, convenience and efficiency of detection, provide strong support for early diagnosis, disease monitoring and complication prevention for diabetic patients, and thereby improve the overall health management level and quality of life of diabetic patients.
