This is a new method of assessing cutaneous spatial resolution. Each of the 8 acrylic probes have a dome shaped head with alternating ridge/slot patterns of different widths. The ridged head is pressed against the skin, and the patient/subject reports the alignment of the ridges, longitudinal or transverse. Recent research shows that:
  1) The Van Boven domes detect reported sensitivity deficits that cannot be detected or quantified with Von Frey hairs or two point calipers.
  2) Measurements are reproducible and are not subject to learning effects.
  3) The neuroanatomical basis for performance in this test is the density of innervation of mechanoreceptive afferents (touch fibers).
  (Van Boven and Johnson, The Limit of Tactile Spatial Resolution in Humans, Neurology 44: 2361-2366, 1994). Blank and replacement domes also available $75.  Set of 8 in case - $550


Tactile acuity cube. Used for grating orientation/discrimination tasks. Tactile Acuity Cube is a swollen cube with grids of different spacing (0.75, 1.25, 1.75, 3.0, 4.5, and 6.0 mm) cut into each of the 6 swollen sides.  TAC-1


Rolltemp is designed for quick screening of temperature sensibility over large body areas. It uses two rollers on handles, one roller being warm and the other cold. A base unit, where the rollers are placed in between investigations, charge the rollers with thermal energy to their predetermined temperature levels, 25 ºC and 40 ºC. With a normal skin temperature of 32 ºC this corresponds to temperatures that are 7 ºC lower and 8 ºC higher than normal skin temperature. These temperatures are selected as relevant to screen between normal and abnormal temperature sensibility.  In normal use, the roller is removed from the base unit and rolled over the skin of the patient. The patient then determines the corresponding sensation and areas with normal/abnormal sensibility can rapidly be mapped out.  $1500.

  Discrimination weights

The discrimination weights consist of two series of 24 weights. The light series weighs from 75 to 125 grams, and the heavy series weighs from 175 to 225 grams. They are unbreakable and identical in color, size and texture. Use them with a fingertip grip to measure perception of pressure sensitivity. $195


     Vibratron 2 consists of a small controller and two separate vibrating rods. Vibration amplitude, which is continuously adjustable, is displayed on the front panel.
     There are two ranges. For fine control, 0 - 6.5 vibration units corresponds to 0 - 20 microns. For low resolution, 6.5 - 19.9 vibration units corresponds to the 0 - 200 microns. A table and a formula are provided for conversion of vibration units to microns.

NTE-2 provides a means of measuring the sensitivity to temperature of a person's hands and feet. The temperature difference between two plates is sensed with fingers and toes, using a two-alternative forced choice paradigm.

     Each plate is driven by a thermoelectric (Peltier effect) module; these modules have the unique ability to provide temperatures both above and below room temperature.

  The NTE2A Thermal Probe is a sophisticated, non-invasive device for the clinical evaluation of neuropathy and the assessment of short fiber neurological function. Individual thresholds are compared to normals that can then be used to track nerve function over time. It can also be used for pain studies and in any application where a variable, accurately controlled temperature stimulus is required.


 
Tacticon
The Tacticon ™ is a small, hand held, passive medical device that the FDA has recently allowed to be marketed to screen patients for evidence of subclinical peripheral neuropathy of the fingers and toes. The Tacticon ™ permits quantitative sensory testing (QST) as recommended by the American Diabetes Association Consensus Panels on Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy. Circumferential discrimination testing is designed to measure larger, myelinated fiber integrity and mechanoreceptors utilizing a series of rods of progressively increasing circumference which when applied to the surfaces, provide exact assessments of fiber integrity which parallels that of vibration.
