Overview

The aim of review is to give basic information on the method of peripheral neuropathy examination usingbiothesiometry technique. Impaired vibratory threshold can be identified in all patients with peripheral neuropathies,the diabetic, uremic, alcoholic or paraneoplastic ones. It is a simple, sensitive and comfortable method for dailyscreening. On the other hand it is sufficiently sensitive for detection and evaluation of peripheral neuropathy. Principleis a vibrating probe, vibration amplitude can be changed by voltage adjustment. Biothesiometry is used in diagnosticsof peripheral neuropathies with impaired vibratory perception threshold, mainly in diabetology and neurology.

Key words:
biothesiometry, vibration perception threshold, diabetic neuropathy, uremic neuropathy, alcoholicneuropathy.
