Vibratron II - Vibration Sensitivity Tester

Model：Vibratron II

The Vibratron II provides a non-invasive means of measuring the sensitivity to vibration of a patient's hands and feet. Reliable quantitative measurements are achieved with a test that takes only minutes to administer. A two-alternative forced choice procedure is used to determine the degree of sensitivity.

LIGHTWEIGHT, STURDY EQUIPMENT

Vibratron II 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

Possible environmental applications:

Screening of multiple subjects for effects of exposure to neurotoxins - toxic dump sites, industrial accidents, solvents in chemical plants.
Evaluating workers for job related cumulative trauma disorders such as carpal tunnel syndrome.

Clinically it is intended for use for:

Early detection and monitoring of sensory loss resulting from diseases such as diabetes and alcoholism.
Early detection of sensory loss resulting from drug therapy.
Evaluation of nerve recovery after cessation of drug therapy or other treatment.

Evaluation of nerve recovery after hand surgery.
