Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A neuropathy screening and severity system can comprise a contact probe comprising a probe housing having a predetermined weight and having an electromechanical actuator operable to vibrate at a variable amplitude and a frequency. The actuator can be operable to contact with a patient at a predetermined pressure based on the predetermined weight. The system can also comprise an electronic control unit disposed in the probe housing. The electronic control unit can be operable to ramp the variable amplitude of the electromechanical actuator from a first amplitude to a second amplitude over a sensory test time.
