Superior Electrodiagnostic Sensory Nerve Testing Equipment
Neurometer® electrodiagnostic sensory nerve conduction threshold (sNCT) testing equipment is unmatched in its ability to reliably and accurately evaluate the full range of neurological dysfunction (hyperesthesia through hypoesthesia) in all major subpopulations of sensory nerve fibers at any cutaneous site on the body.
Traditional electrodiagnostic nerve tests, such as the sensory nerve conduction velocity (sNCV) examine fewer than 10% of sensory fibers within an isolated segment of a peripheral nerve. These traditional tests are insensitive to early stage hyperesthesia and functional complications, and rely on a non-standardized single-blinded test procedures. Neurometer® devices quantify the functional integrity of the large myelinated, small myelinated and unmyelinated sensory fibers (>90%) using a standardized double-blinded (p<0.006) automated test procedure. Standardized measures are objectively evaluated through computerized comparison to clinically established normative values. Also, unlike traditional electrodiagnostic procedures, Neurometer® tests are painless and can be conducted anywhere on the body - including the most distal cutaneous sites as well as mucosal locations. Neurometer® measures are not confounded by skin temperature, edema or electromagnetic interference. More than 500 peer-reviewed studies document the high sensitivity, specificity and intra-rater and inter-rater reliability of the Neurometer® sensory nerve tests and their advantages over traditional procedures.
