Introduction:
Sensory Assist is an early diagnostic instrument for distal symmetric
Polyneuropathy. Applied to test the skin that failure to perceive variances in temperature.

It is easy to handle and convenient to use and a simple, reliable and inexpensive testing

method for the determination of the disturbed temperature sensation in diabetic neuropathy.

Clinic Application:
Sensory Assist is designed to give the clinician and patients a convenient and easy method of

testing.Sensory Assist is made of special polymer and metal alloys. The polymer side feels

warmer and the metal alloy side cooler due to the thermal conductivity property of the

materials. The clinician place the two flat surfaces on the patient' s foot at irregular

intervals while the patient should be keep the eyes closing. If correct answers are given

when the clinician asks whether it feels cold or not so cold, it may presume that the

patient' s temperature perception is functioning well.
