Vibrotactile Perception Meter

Measurement of vibrotactile thresholds. A new version of Tactile vibrometer developed in ISVR.

Tactile vibrometer

Measurement of tactile thresholds for vibration stimuli. Vibrotactile thresholds may be used for assessment of sensory changes associated with neurological dysfunction.

Thermal aesthesiometer

Measurement of tactile thresholds for thermal stimuli. Thermal thresholds for both sensation and pain may be used to indicate sensorineural dysfunction.

8 channel temperature monitor

Measurement of finger skin temperatures following cold provocation of the hand. The recovery of finger skin temperatures can be used to indicate vascular dysfunction.

Multi-channel plethysmograph 

Finger systolic blood pressure (FSBP)

Measurement of finger systolic blood pressures following cold provocation of the fingers. Finger systolic blood pressures measured at different temperatures can be used to detect problems in the vascular response to cold.

Finger blood flow (FBF)

Measurement of blood flow during venous occlusion of the digits using mercury-in-silastic strain gauges. Blood flow measured at sub-diastolic occlusion pressure can be used to detect problems in the vascular response to vibration.

Instrument manager

Automated data retrieval from HVLab diagnostic instruments, providing the user with a simple interface for entry of subject details, clinical information, storage of test summaries.
