How to detect Hot Cold Perception in Foot using KODYS ELITE HCP?

 


Diabetic Polyneuropathy is a disease that affects peripheral nerves. Due to this damage to the nerve fibres, an individual’s ability to sense thermal (hot), cold, and pain diminishes. A Sensitometer HCP (Hot, Cold, Pain) is used to detect diabetic polyneuropathy. This detection is performed by observing any change in the level of tolerance to heat and cold perception in the patient’s foot. 

KODYS ELITE HCP is a simple and highly new generation (HCP) Digital Neuropathy Analyzer. It is one of the most reliable diabetic foot care products used to measure the thermal perception thresholds in diabetic neuropathy. With an elegant design and stable performance, the device provides the following pictorial and graphical reports:

  • Foot Heat and Cool Perception Report
  • Foot Hot Pain and Cold Pain Perception Report
  • Hand Heat and Cool Sensory Report

The unit supports USB and Bluetooth connections, and can also be operated and controlled from a remote location using an Android Mobile App.

The procedure of thermal testing is vital in evaluating small-calibre A-delta and C-fibres. These fibres are the primary transmitters of thermal and pain sensation. Before beginning thermal testing, the technician applies a thermal probe on the patient’s skin to heat or cool the skin. When the patient reacts to the temperature stimuli, he or she raises their hands. The sensory thermal threshold is recorded with a comparison of the normal values. 

Features

  • The front panel has soft touch membrane keys.
  • The display is a dual colour with Red indicating Heat and Green indicating Cool.
  • You can select Speed - Slow/Fast 
  • You can select Mode - Heat/Cool
  • The unit is Windows-based and uses a user-friendly software
  • When not in use, the machine has an auto shut-off features and turns off after 3 minutes.
  • There is an Over range alert and a No probe alert. 

The device helps to measure the thresholds for four sensory sub-modalities. These include warm sensation, cold sensation, heat-induced pain, and cold-induced pain.

Getting to know the different styles of yoga

  While getting a pretty yoga mat is a good way to embark on a yoga practice, trying to google the difference between hatha and yin yoga can harder than holding a half-moon pose. If you had attended your first yoga class and didn’t enjoy it, it’s not that yoga and you aren’t meant to be — it’s probably because you haven’t found a style that works for you. Here are the five most popular styles, although it’s important to note that as hip hop yoga studios and goat yoga practices become the hottest classes to go for in the recent year, more classic forms of yoga have been adapted to be more fitness-focused. HATHA Hatha classes are usually a good place to start a yoga practice because it tends to be more low key, and slower paced. It focuses on basic postures, such as downward-facing dog or the warrior poses and breathing tends to be rhythmic. Hatha is also a good practice for anyone looking for a good stretch or to work on their alignment.   VINYASA Vinyasa tends to be a more vigorous pr
