Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	An apparatus for reducing symptoms associated with neuropathy such as pain or other sensation deficits and sensation dysfunction in the lower extremity of a patient includes a platform having a base and a top plate supported by the base and configured to allow a patient to place their feet thereon. A vibrational actuator is carried by the base and connected to the top plate and configured to vibrate the top plate when a patient stands thereon or while seated with their feet placed on top of the plate. A controller is connected to the vibrational actuator and configured to operate the vibrational actuator to impart a vibrating force to the top plate when a patient has their feet thereon and stimulate the Pacini corpuscles to impart a neurological feedback response that dilates blood vessels of the feet and legs.
